I've used DontDisplayLastUserName for years without a problem, but I've
recently moved to Windows Server 2003, and I've found that the setting
doesn't work as it should.  It behaves as if it is not set at all and
displays the last logged-in user name as is normal without the setting.
I've done a Google search, and didn't find anyone else with a problem, so
I'm starting to think that I've done something stupid.  In fact, this link
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/Tech
Ref/d1941ca0-b6b7-4b67-9cc6-19c3d612c4ec.mspx) says that it is supported in
Win2003.

I'm setting the following string value (not DWORD) to "1":
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion
\ Winlogon \ DontDisplayLastUserName

I am not using auto-logon (which interacts with that setting in a wacky
way).

Has anyone used this successfully on Win2003 or any suggestions as to what I
might be doing stupidly wrong?

Is this server a member of a domain?

It is not a member of a domain, and one of the Win2003 machines I tested on
doesn't even have a network adapter.

I did similar testing on Windows NT Server, and it works whether it's a
member of a domain or not.

Why would you think the domain membership would matter?

I was thinking it was maybe pulling this from a policy..

It turns out that the setting has basically moved locations according to
this article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;227458
The correct location is now:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
\DontDisplayLastUserName

I've tested the new value, and it works correctly, and the original location
has no effect regardless of the setting of the new value.
