boogerjones Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 The list of user names and icons are not displayed on my logon screen when trying to log in locally. Setup: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with the Remote Desktop Services (the new name for Terminal Services) role and Desktop Experience feature installed. After installing RDS, user names and icons are no longer displayed on the logon screen. I can not find a way to take a screenshot. I found KB 947708, which is exactly my problem, but I checked my setting ("Interactive logon: Do not display last user name"), and it is explicitly set to "Disabled", so there's something else doing it. Would love to have the Windows 7 behavior back. Any ideas?

TurboTuna Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 This is by Design...Any reason you're using Server 2008 as a workstation? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/889306-windows-server-2008-r2-logon-screen-issue/#findComment-592434778 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not, though I can see why some people might want to (the fact that MS doesn't allow a single concurrent RDP login on Windows 7 Ultimate is ridiculous). We have a relatively small group at our medical office and I'm testing this as our server. No dedicated IT staff and we prefer to administer it locally. I'm just testing the RDS stuff because I'm doubtful that it will be worth it for us in the long run.And I know it's by design; the KB article I linked to says exactly that. It also lists the reason, but changing that group policy setting doesn't fix it for some reason. This is nothing more than a minor inconvenience. But if there's an easy fix for it, which I suspect there is, then I'm interested in hearing about it.

McDave Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Checked via RSoP and it's not defined in the group policy. Defining it in the domain policy has no effect. Not really helpfull but I hope that rules one thing out for you.
