I am new to all this Windows Domain stuff, sometimes I need to logon locally to the users workstation to run updates or patches etc.. After I do that, the computer shows "Logon to (Local Machine)" instead of the Domain as default. With some of my users it's okay-they are smart and know how to change it back.. , but I get the ocassional stupid user that will phone me up and say "HELP I CAN'T LOGIN!" because they are trying to login using the Local Machine..

Now Question: How do I make it always Default to the Domain Login?? I couldn't find any group policy... Any help appreciated. Thanks!
 
Try setting the policy security option for Interactive Logon: Do not display last username and see if that helps.
