Welcome screen over domain (3683)

[Mowzeror]

I caught site of this in the logonui.exe a few days back when messing around different things here and there.

I now read in a thread on another forum, someone also has confirmed the same.

Longhorn supports, or more so will support as a new feature welcome screen over domain.

Here is a code snip...

<domainlogonaccount resid=domainaccountitem id=atom(domainaccountitem) layout=filllayout() accessible=true accRole=43>
<element id=atom(userpane) layout=borderlayout() height=100rp>
<element layout=borderlayout() layoutpos=top>
<element id=atom(pictureframe) layout=flowlayout(0,2,2) layoutpos=left width=58rp height=58rp>
<element id=atom(picture) />
</element>
<--cut out-->
</element>
</element>
<element id=atom(domainpasswordpanelayer) sheet=styleref(passwordpaness) layout=borderlayout()>
<--cut out-->
<element layout=borderlayout() layoutpos=top>
<edit id=atom(usernameeditbox) layoutpos=left height=30rp width=300rp accName= rcstr(57)/>
<--cut out-->
</element>
<element id=atom(instruct) layoutpos=top content=rcstr(6)/>
<--cut out-->
</element>
</element>
</domainlogonaccount>


Its kinda a little smart client, being similar to the current authentication but in reverse.

That would be silly, the whole point of not having the Welcome screen is so that you can't see a whole pile of logon names in a domain, if you can't see them they're harder to guess.

the logon screen in xp already has all the local ones, I bet a lot of net admins will like having a simple list of available domain accounts at their terminal

Not in a domain, they don't. You get the classic Win2k logon only. So that a stranger doesn't get a list of usernames to try and hack.

this is one of ther services ingrained in longhorn which require an effective paladium
