The only way you can display one login icon and still have access to all user accounts is to use the following procedure. This will show a single login icon where you can type the user name and password for any account. Interactive logon: Do not display last user name - Change this policy to Enabled. If you have the Home Premium version, you can set this policy using the registry.
In the right side pane, look for the Value dontdisplaylastusername. Double click this value and change the Value Data to 1. Name the value dontdisplaylastusername and make the change noted above. Let's begin with a computer that has Windows 7 installed and is not yet domain-joined. Begin by logging on using the credentials of a local administrator on the computer:. Once you are interactively logged on to the Windows desktop, open the Network and Sharing Center. If the user of the computer is going to be using a dial-up modem connection instead of a VPN tunnel over the public Internet, select the fourth option in this wizard page instead and proceed similarly to the steps that follow.
On the next wizard page, specify a FQDN or IP address for the VPN server the user will use to connect to the corporate network, and type a friendly name for this connection as shown below. Selecting that checkbox is important since it makes the System built-in identity the owner of the VPN connection and not the user Karen who is configuring the connection on the computer, and that will allow other users of the computer to perform VPN SSO logon.
And if the user of the computer will be using his smart card for logging in, be sure to select the Use A Smart Card checkbox as well. Finally, if the computer you are configuring is not currently connected to the Internet, you can select the Don't Connect Now option which will set up the new VPN connection but not initiate it until you manually choose to do so later.
On the next wizard page, type the credentials that will be used for logging on to the domain. In this case, Karen Berg is configuring the computer for her own personal use, so she enters her own credentials here. Finish the wizard to set up the new VPN connection. Once this is done, the user can click the Network icon in the notification area of the taskbar, and a popup window will appear showing the newly created VPN connection:. Figure 7: Verifying the VPN connection.
To complete setting up her computer, Karen now joins her computer to the domain. If she is in the office, she can do this by connecting the computer to a LAN drop, clicking Start, and right-clicking Computer to open the System Control Panel item.
Then she clicks Change Settings and join her computer to the domain the usual way. If she is on the road sitting in a hotel somewhere, she would first use a LAN drop in a hotel room or a secure wireless hotspot to gain Internet access and then click the Network icon in the notification area, click My VPN Connection in the popup window, click the Connect button, provide her domain credentials when prompted to do so, establish a VPN connection to the corporate network, finish logging on to her desktop, and then join her computer to the domain in the usual way.
To hide the user account — Type 0 and click OK. If I understand this thread correctly, then here is a solution for making the local users dissappear from the "windows 7 Professional 64" login screen, while still being "active" users for local network share purposes.
Find the policy for "Deny log on locally 4. Click on "Add User or Group" button 5. Add all the user names that you don't want to show up in the text box, separated with semicolons ; and hit the "Check Names" button. If all is well click OK and those accounts should no longer have a login icon at startup. Is it possible to get a batch file or script which would automate the task of hiding one account with administrative privileges on a large numbver of computers so that it does not appear on the logon screen.
However it should be possible to remotely login to the computer using the same login account and push patches and updates. It is worth noting that out of a large number of computers, some have Windows XP, some have Vista, while others have Windows 7 loaded on them.
So the batch file or script proposed should be able to work on all the three operating systems. Possible reasons are blank passwords are not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforeced. This will save me many headaches when I have to send workgroup laptops to the GoM and they suddenly need an admin account for something.
If I let them, they would just log into the Administrator desktop for everything, but as I cannot go on the boat, I had to have some way for them accessing the admin without logging into its desktop. This was easy to do in XP. To help with search engines: aRedDawg showed how to require a username and password for the Run As Administrator dialog when the desired Administrator account is hidden from the logon screen in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Hey i'm having the same problem but I dun know how to do it HI I had used this step its works but one problem happens I had done in admin account that's hide my admin account and i can't. Guessing the original asker won't see this, but for the benefit of any who may come across this looking for such functionality in Windows The name "DomainStyleLogon" doesn't seem to matter - just that there is an empty key under ProfileList.
So I reversed the fix offered there by KindBullet and it seems to work. I'm not saying I recommend this - intentionally using what seems to be a bug, and may be "fixed" in the future - but it does seem to be working fine for me without other side effects. I did this, and it worked. But now I've got a problem: I removed admin privileges from this user the one I set up to be the only VISIBLE account in the login screen, though there are other, admin accounts on the machine , but since doing so, when I try to install software while logged on as the user, it no longer permits me to enter an administrator password it says "To continue, type an administrator password, and then click Yes", but the Yes button is grayed-out.
Also, in the login screen, it does not permit me to switch user. The only button available, beneath the password field for the user, is "Cancel". How might I get back into this machine, under one of my admin accounts? With regards to this steps. How about if you accidentally hide the administrator account instead of non-elevated user account and you already restart the machine, now how you will unhide or reverse the result if you don't have administrator privilage because you login as standard user only?
You're a genius my friend.. I tried every steps out here and none of them works because they don't know the exact situation.. You just saved my time reinstalling the whole operating system and every programs on my pc.. This one is better than the registychange. It follows user interface. No danger of messing in the registry. Instant effect noticed. You can create own securitygroups within Windows 7.

Hi, you can do this through secpol. Proposed as answer by M. Gauttier Monday, October 19, PM. Friday, October 16, AM. Hi Calvin, From the post, I think you are trying to disable other accounts to logon instead of hide them in welcome screen. Christian, No, I should describe the steps more clearly as follows: 1.
The problem I have is the "Other User" and I want to disable it because it will allow the end user to log on as domain account. Thank you. Regards, Calvin. We may not able to do so. And it is not safe to disable all other users logon that computer especially the computer is in domain. If it corrupts, local admin will also failed to login. Maybe quit domain when logoff the computer is an option. Sunday, October 25, AM. Tuesday, October 27, PM. The following will work for a computer in a workgroup using the welcome page.
Put all the accounts in that subkey. I have also confirmed this on my Windows 7 Ultimate computer I use at home. I use the hidden but not disabled accounts to provide share access in a workgroup environment, so I don't want to see them on the logon page. I think the proper workaround for share access is using homegroups instead, but I don't think it provides enough granularity for me. Wednesday, October 28, AM. It is wierd. I have been doing same thing last 2 days for many times but it only worked today.
One think i have done though, i have cleared Name section of user account. Ok, it now looks like I have a problem, I tried the above mentioned solution, and now I can't use my first account which has administrator rights anymore; I can't even do a Runas anymore so I can't undo the change in the registry.
