Getting the logon screen to display properly for a domain user

User has an XP Pro workstation on a domain. When pressing CTL-ALT-DEL to
display the logon panel, user's panel is 2 lines: one for usernames and the
other for password. Nothing else is displayed except for "buttons" at the
bottom of the data entry area, one of which is the "Options" button, when
clicked, adds the "shutdown" button, but not the checkbox for dialing a
network first or the line for specifying the domain. Which flag in the
registry or security/user rights policy entry controls this?

Are you sure that the workstation is a member of the domain?

If you are trying to get the "logon using a dialup connection" option,
the connection must be configured for all users.

Absolutely!

It, and several other workstations, which were on a corporate LAN, were
moved from the central office and relocated offiste. I personally set them
all up to (1) use the corporate VPN, (2) to "dial" the VPN as part of the
logon/authentication process, and (3) tested them. Now, all of a sudden,
this one machine has lost the ability to display the domain or to cause the
machine to logon first to the VPN via the logon panel, and do domain
authentication. I have no idea how the user did this after it was located
offsite, but the workstation (and the employee) are unable to work. I recall
that the contents of the logon panel that are displayed can be controlled by
a combination of registry and security politcy options. I just can't
remember or figure out which winlogon registry key is involved.

Yes. It is so configured.

Let me correct myself.

After I posted this, I had the user check the properties of "my computer"
and it is no longer connected to the domain but in workgroup "workgroup."
How this happened, I have no idea. Attempts to rejoin the domain fail with a
can't find the domain controller message after the workstation is connected
via the VPN to the RRAS server.

Anybody have any ideas here?

Jim
