I need to know how to put in the Registry the same command I use on NT Workstations that does not display the last user login name. I used to put "dontdisplaylastusername" in the reg on an NT machine but when I put it in the same place on a 2000 machine it does not work. Can someone tell me where and what entry to put so I can get these results. I don't want the last user name to be displayed when you hit "control, alt, delete" to logon.

Thanks in advance.

Actually the below will work in windows 2000... it would need to be done at each workstation ... not from the server. Windows 2000 Server is very different from Windows NT server.

W2K includes this feature in the OS. Go to Administrative Tools>Local Security>Local Plicies>Security Options. There is a policy in there that states: Do not display last user name in logon screen. Double click it and enable it. By default it is disabled. Probably need a script if you wanna roll this out to a bunch of computers

I am looking for a Reg hack not a third party software. I don't want to have to install S/W on all my workstations.
