HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Data type Range Default value
REG_SZ 0 - 50 entries (decimal) 10

Description

Determines how many user account entries are saved in the logon cache on the local computer. Windows 2000 saves user account information used to log on to the computer so it can be used in the event that the user's domain controller is unavailable.

If the value of this entry is 0, Windows 2000 does not save any user account information in the logon cache. In this case, if the user's domain controller is not available and the user tries to log on a computer that does not have their account information, Windows 2000 displays the following message:

"The system cannot log you on now because the domain <Domain-name> is not available."

Activation method

You must restart Windows 2000 to make changes to this entry effective.
