Can not create Windows Logon Credential
Hi,
I am using RC1 in a domain environment, but I can't seem to create a Windows Logon Credential. Neither can I select "remember my password" when I connect to a network resource. Is it possible to set something like this through a policy, or is something else wrong. regards, Ronald |

I don't understand what you are trying to do, simply logon with a domain
account? Is the computer joined to the domain? If it is it should default to logging on to the domain. If for some reason it isn't pick switch user and specify the domain user. Note there is no way to pick either the domain or the local computer from a drop down list as in previous Windows. You have to specify it in the user name as in ComputerName\UserName or DomainName\UserName. -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ ronaldpj wrote: Hi, I am using RC1 in a domain environment, but I can't seem to create a Windows Logon Credential.

My computer is joined to a domain. But I frequently work at a customers site,
and need to connect to their resources. With Windows XP it is possible to save your credentials when you connect to a server. In Vista, for me, it is not possible. Furthermore, if I go to "Manage your Network Passwords", and try to create a username/password. The option "Windows Logon Credential" is greyed out. So I can create a "Web site or program credential". Hope this makes things clear. regards, Ronald "Kerry Brown" wrote: I don't understand what you are trying to do, simply logon with a domain account? Is the computer joined to the domain?

OK now I understand. I do the same thing. I didn't know this was a problem
as I never save my credentials for customer sites. It's a security risk unless you can guarantee that no one else will ever have physical access to your PC. -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ ronaldpj wrote: My computer is joined to a domain.

Found it ! It was a policy/registry setting.
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa] Value Name: DisableDomainCreds Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = enable storage (default), 1 = disable storage) (found on: http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1286/) "ronaldpj" wrote: Hi, I am using RC1 in a domain environment, but I can't seem to create a Windows Logon Credential.
