I have a small problem,
Running win XP pro for workstations
and win 2003 server with a active domain server.
Is there a way to set a default user name and default the domain so
new users when they hit ctrl+alt+del they get a prompt with the
default users name, the default domain i want and the password blank.

by windows standards when you logoff the computer remembers the last
users name. I would like to default this to a user.
The reason for all of this is for security. I am useing the
winexit.scr to force logoff after so many minutes of idle time then i
want to have the machine default the domain and user name thus it will
not remember the last user that logoned.

I would guess with this you could also default the user to nothing
too.

any help is appricated as always, thanks in advance.

Don't understand the part about the domain - if the last logon was to the
domain to which the computer is joined, then that is the default until
changed.

I don't know of any way to force a universal default user logon; however,
you can use group policy to eliminate display of the last user name on the
logon screen:

Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local
Policies/Security Options -

"Do not display last user name in logon screen"
