#105216 - 2003-09-30 07:44 PM Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization
Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	The following is a proposal for a new FAQ. Comments are welcome and will be integrated into the first post. The first post will then be submitted as a new FAQ. INFO: Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization Microsoft has optimized Windows XP to enhance the user experience by creating the impression that the operating system starts up faster. This is achieved by having the login prompt show up before the networt is fully initialized. Additionally, existing users are logged in with cached credentials. Drawbacks in a domain or corporate environment are that login scripts might not run, policies might not get applied, account expiration warnings might not get displayed, and GPO software distribution might fail. The logon optimization can be disabled in the following ways Local PO via "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" Global PO via "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" Per-machine registry hack via "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" with registry value "SyncForegroundPolicy"=dword:00000001 Per-user registry hack via "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" with registry value "SyncForegroundPolicy"=dword:00000001 For more information see Microsoft KB305293 Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization Feature _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

I don't find that switch (at least documented) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/proddocs/defrag.asp start hh.exe ms-its:ntcmds.chm::/ntcmds.htm

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Well, I do cover that issue in the FAQ Topic: Use of %0\..\ to launch KiX but I suspect it doesn't get many hits. Maybe I should have put "XP" in the title. When you post this to the FAQ, I will link to it from there and maybe you can reciprocate. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Jens could you please verify the registry hack, specifically the key in your post? "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" with registry value "SyncForegroundPolicy"=dword:00000001 there is not such key on our XP computers. Did you mean: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	They can be in either place, either as a policy or entered manually. I'll add your registry keys to it before I post the FAQ. Your registry keys would indicate manual configuration instead of using LPO/GPO for this. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Jens, do not use my reg key. I am asking a question. The keys you posted do not exists on our XP computers. You listed manual reg hack in your initial post. Since I can not find those keys, I am asking if they are correct. Please see the two key in the previous post one more time. I was wondering if you made a mistake in the specification of the winlogon key. please notice the difference: SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft [ 06.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Howard, yes, I verified the key/value. However, they do not exist by default, only if you set/reset the policy. It should also be possible to write the value to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" instead, but then it would not be a policy, and I haven't tried it yet as I set it via LPO. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
