I would say restrict it using the policy I mentioned, then it shouldn't matter if it comes up with Other User or not as only valid logons will be allowed to logon interactively. Shell, as any domain user historically could try to logon to a system provided they're already granted access. Besides, provided the user has valid credentials to logon, there isn't much of a change in the previous OS other than presentation of the logon It's a change of one Group Policy setting, the one I mentioned earlier, it's really not that big of a change.
This isn't quite the same as your original question. With Windows 7 there is a new feature, Quick User switching, make sure this is enabled so that you can logon other users even if another user is logged in & their session is locked already.Īlterantively you could connect remotely via RDC to unlock the currently locked session.
"1)Earlier i used to have 2003 Win, with the default permission setting and if i lock the PC, only i am able to unlock it," This may be big design flaw in Win7 if there exist no way to avoid the 'other User' screen.As i tried many ways to do this but of no use and also searching in forums gives no fruitful result.Īpparently, i wanted to understand how did this 'other users' login icon appears as non-domain controlled machine i dont see the other users icon. Provides credential provider Dll to override functionality, still it is of no use considering the behaviour of Win7. My credential provider will work if the user uses my login Screen, which will come up once i register the credential provider dll, but still Win7 shows 'other User' as another login icon which the same user can use to login.
Now lets say, i override the Win7 Credential provider, and other then the default credential (user\passwrd) i added one more field (say, another device passwrd ) which user needs to input and must be validated before login. Understand that new level of security got added to improve Win7, but there are few cases which needs explanation.ġ)Earlier i used to have 2003 Win, with the default permission setting and if i lock the PC, only i am able to unlock it, but in Win7, since it displays Other user any domain user can get into the system(understand that u can avoid this by group policiesĢ)Secondly, if you are aware about the Credential Provider provided by Win7, Using this we can write our own dll and can modify login screen and can write extra validation before allowing user to login.
