I just created a new windows 2003 domain. All users connect with no problem. Some users even share workstations.

I have a policy enabled to remember the last user to sign on. However, on one of those machines with multiple users, whenever the computer starts up from a reboot, it automatically logs in a particular user on the domain that I have set up an account for on that machine. Its always the same user that gets logged on automatically. You never even get prompted to hit ctrl+alt+del or for a password. All other users in that OU connect fine without this problem. ITs only that machine.

I have also tried removing the "remember last user to succesfully login" policy from that particular OU and no luck.

Any suggestions??

Check the registry for the following settings.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

AutoAdminLogon = 1
ForceAutoLogon = 1
DefaultUserName = username
DefaultPassword = password

If you see these settings that is why it is autologing in.
Check the first two to 0.
Then remove the DefaultPassword key. Just delete it.

Then reboot. See if that helps.

Hey, thanks I really appreciate it. Actually only 2 of the four keys were there, but i changed those two and it worked like a charm!
