hi everyone ... I had a pdf document from this site about tuning Windows 2003 server to act like a workstation , I don't know the member who wrote it, but it's very good and very useful . I have only one question concerning the logon screen, how to change it from the classic logon/shutdown screen (that is identical to windows 2000 logon screen) to the new style logon screen (like XP logon /shutdown screen . actually this should be possible using group policy editor (gpedit.msc) , administrative templates --> system --> logon ; there's an option "always use classic logon" , I configured this option to "disabled", and this should be enough to change the logon screen as I see, but that didn't happen , and I really can't figure out the reason . any help is much appreciated . thanks
