Is there a way of getting a clasic login box with a drop down domain / local PC list. I think having to type localPC\localuser is NOT an improvement. Not as yet - this'll only be available in Enterprise edition as far as we can see :o(  SignatureZack Whittaker » ZackNET Enterprises: www.zacknet.co.uk » MSBlog on ResDev: www.msblog.org » Vista Knowledge Base: www.vistabase.co.uk » This mailing is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

You could try editing the local policy. Run gpedit.msc as an administrator. You'll find the setting under Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Logon - Always use classic logon I can't try it as this machine is joined to a domain so I always get the classic logon. Note the classic logon looks a little different so it's not so classic but it does have all the options.

Actually I just tried logging on to this machine again. It is a little different from a non-domain logon but it doesn't have the options from the classic logon. You have to specify the domain or local machine as in domain/user or local_machine/user instead of picking the domain or local machine from a drop down list.

"localPC"? try using .\localuser (still not an improvement, but at least it's quicker to type than "localPC") > Is there a way of getting a clasic login box with a drop down domain / local > PC list. > I think having to type localPC\localuser is NOT an improvement. On machines joined toa domain you can also enter the longin credential as the e-mail address instead of domain/user. This has worked since Windows 2000. The domain drop down was great when there were just a few domains. It was a nightmare for sites with 15+ domains in a forest. It could take a really, really long time to populate that list if you accidentally clicked the drop down to choose your domain instead of just using domain/username. > Is there a way of getting a clasic login box with a drop down domain / local > PC list. > I think having to type localPC\localuser is NOT an improvement.
