paquetjs Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I have a few users that need to log on interactively on my Windows 2003 Server so I wanted to remove the "Last Username" from the login screen. I did it a few times on XP workstations a while back. I tried to edit the "Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name" item in the policy settings, but I get an Access Denied error. I am logged as local admin and i can change other policy settings, except this one. I can't even change it directly by the registry, it gives me a similar error. I tried later to do the same thing on the XP that's also installed on the machine, I get the same error, I have always been able to do this on XP before, but now it seems that I can't. Anyone has any ideas how to resolve this?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravashaak Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Is this server a domain controller for an AD domain? If so, then perhaps you should try logging on with an account that is a member of domain admins before making this change. - Ravashaak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsden Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 As Admion or Administrator? You need the proper Permissions... fix that and you will fix your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paquetjs Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Um, Im not really sure what's admion, but I am definitly logged on as "Administrator" on the local comp. And the problem are the permissions, how do I fix them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasim Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 i think what he means is if you are logged on as the built in admin not a user you created who has admin priveleges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paquetjs Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 I am definitly logged on as built-in admin. I tried to change it manually different times with the registry also, but I can't find the problem and its getting really annoying to have to retype my username everytime over the last one.
