Most laptops are fine with this issue. But with a couple of them, when they lock their laptop and take it out of the network, they are not able to login. It complains about no logon servers. However, if they restart the laptop, they are able to login fine using cached cred. I tried taking the laptop out of the domain and readding it back in. Is there a solution to this problem instead of just shutting down.

Hi, Regarding the issue, please try the following suggestions. 1. Perform a clean boot and disable your security software temporarily for a test. 2. Remove the cached credentials. 3. Modify the following registry, adjust the value to 20 or 30. Before changing it, please backup it first. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] Setting Name: CachedLogonsCount Data Type: REG_SZ Value: Default value = 10 decimal, max value = 50 decimal, minimum value = 1 decimal Meanwhile, I would like to share the following articles with you. Hope it helps.

1. Performing a clean boot will always allow the user to login through cached credentials or connected to the network. From the looks of it, it looks like the laptop thinks it is still in the domain, even though it is not. 2. Cached credentials do work. However, it works after a clean reboot. 3. I don't think increasing cached logon will do anything. It is not like it is getting locked out because the count is at zero.

Hi, If the issue doesn't occur in clean boot, you can enable half of the services or half of the startup items to narrow down the root cause. Niki Han TechNet Community Support
