SYMPTOMS

Administration Kit (ZAK), the last logged on user may not be shown.

CAUSE
=====

The Ntconfig.pol file included with ZAK has the "Do not display last logged on
user" option enabled by default.

RESOLUTION
==========

To configure Windows NT to display the last logged-on user, run Poledit.exe.
Edit the Ntconfig.pol file in the Netlogon folder on the primary domain
controller and disable the "Do not display last logged on user" option.
