ButchN Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Hi guys, I have the 1st Vista PC (Vista Basic) at my company.My IT guy (& I) are not familiar with Vista enough to figure out how to get it to come up with a logon, not the windows logon, but the logon for the network itself.What happened is when I turn my PC on in the morning I have no logon then to get to the network, I have to click on the server shortcut I made, which the network logon comes up, then to print I have to click on the printer short I made to initilize the printer before I can print.So anyone know how I can make my PC boot up to the logon screen & also get my network printer to initiaze when I logon?Thanks.

cluberti Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 You need Vista business, enterprise, or ultimate to join a domain. Otherwise, no go.
ButchN Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks guys.I guess my company bought "too cheap" eh!Is there a way to make it so the 2 shortcuts I mentioned laod after windows starts so all I have to do is enter my logon info vs. me having to click 2 shortcuts then enter?
cluberti Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 You'll still have to enter creds, but just copy the shortcuts to the "startup" folder in your start menu.
