In a multi-domain environment, it’s a common mistake for users to log into a different domain other than their native domain. To avoid this problem, there is an option to configure the default logon domain by using a computer startup script.
Changing the Default Logon Domain
To change the default logon domain name, copy the script below to a text file:
Dim sDomName
Set oWshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
sDomName = “TEST-DOMAIN”
oWshShell.RegWrite “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultDomainName”, sDomName
In the script above, rename “TEST-DOMAIN” to the NETBIOS domain name that will be used as the default logon domain.
Once you’ve finished making the edits, Save the text file and name it: DefaultDomainScript.vbs
Now, add the script DefaultDomainScript.vbs to the Default Domain Policy (GPO) as a computer startup script.
*Note: When you’re finished, run the “GPUPDATE” command on one of the DC’s in the domain, and then reboot the clients computers.
