I use terminal service to connect to my other computer at home..when the connection is made, it display my user name and blank password field.

My question is:

Is it possible not to display a last user name when I use terminal services to connect to that machine?

I couldn't find any policy in "terminal configuarion" and the local policy I applied "not to display the last user name" doesn't work on the terminal server, but the policy does work, when i try to log on the workstation.

thanks

Open Regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Set the DontDisplayLastUserName entry to 1

Log out and log in with TS, and the user name will be gone. This is the entry that is used by TS.

You probably modified HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DontDisplayLastUserName which is used by Win2K to hide the login name on the console. This entry is not used by TS.

hope this helps
