default domain display at logon

jmhop · 10-02-2006

ADMT appears to set the default domain of XP workstations to log in to the
local machine. Is there a way to change this? What we would like is for the
default domain to show the target domain name. It appears to work on windows
2000 boxes

Jason Tan · 10-02-2006

Hello,

Thanks for posting!

ADMT cannot change the default logon domain of the workstations. I suggest
you wirte a script to change the default log on domain according to the
following methods:

To change the default Log on to: value edit the following local registry
key of the
machine you are logging on to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

CachePrimaryDomain

You may write a domain logon script to achieve the goal.

More information for your reference:

Hope the information helps.

Jason Tan

Jason -
Thanks for the reply -
we are changing the "DefaultDomainName" in Winlogon reg key - our scprit
runs prior to ADMT migrating the workstation. Windows 2000 correctly shows
the new domain, Windows XP does not. We are going to test the
CachePrimaryDomain change this morning, i will let you know.

Putting this in the logon script does not really help us, because the users
cannot log in locally (they only have domain accounts), and most do not know
which domain they even log into.

Thanks,
Jmhop

If you write a script to utilize the ADMT command line migration for
computers maybe you can add some additional lines of code that change
that registry key based off of the value of the target domain- that
will be in the admt migration code anyway.

The one thing that may need to be tested 1st is to see if the registry
key change needs to happen before ADMT reboots the computer or upon
start up of the workstation after the reboot.

I am working on a similar migration with ADMT so I am interested to
hear how you either fixed this issue- or just lived with it.

Omar -
It does matter when you change the registry. Our testing indicated that the
3 "domain" fields get updated on logon, we were able to successfully change
the default domain on the migrating workstations (via a vb app and remote
registry - long story) for win2k and winXP. we ended up changing BOTH
"CachePrimaryDomain" and "DefaultDomainName" to make all workstations happy.
