[Powershell] change a local security policy
Go to solution
Solved by TheRealShadoh,
If this is on a domain system, use a GPO, but an easy solution is just change the registry of the box
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -name "dontdisplaylastusername" -value 1
If its more than just your box you're hitting...
try { $existingValue = Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -name "dontdisplaylastusername" Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -name "dontdisplaylastusername" -value 0 $newValue = Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -name "dontdisplaylastusername" } catch { throw } Write-Output "Was: $($existingValue)" Write-Output "Is: $($newValue)"
Do some logging and output stuff to something you can review.
Use a loop if you have a bunch of things to change in registry.
foreach($object in $list) { }
