About this tag
Interactive logon refers to the process of logging on to a Windows system directly at the console or via Remote Desktop Services. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover Group Policy settings that control interactive logon behavior, such as smart card removal actions, caching of previous logons, and whether to display the last user name. Users also report issues like failed logins over external trusts or in XP Mode due to local policy restrictions. Troubleshooting often involves adjusting security options in the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) under Computer Configuration > Security Settings > Security Options. These settings help reduce attack surfaces by enforcing stricter logon requirements.
