Virtual Smart Cards - Windows 8.1 & Windows 10

Hello,

 I'm looking at an authentication method which ties a user down to hardware, I believe virtual smart cards can achieve this, what I'd like to know is:

- All of the examples I've seen refer to a PIN, however in practice can I enforce users to pick a regular 8 character password for their PIN and virtual smart card?

- Is it possible to combine a password and PIN with a virtual smart card?

- I have a scenario whereby I want to lend out laptops to remote staff, but must ensure only authorized users login to the laptops. If I enable virtual smart cards and force 8 character pins on the device, does this meet the requirement? I want to ensure it's impossible for user Z to pick up the laptop, bring it into the office, plug a network cable in and login as he normally would to any domain joined PC.

Thanks

Hi,

How about your problem now? According to your description, Creating Virtual Smart Card and PIN is successful, isn't it? 

Now this problem occurs during switch user account at same system, isn't it?

According to the error message, it seems like there is a problem with this account. What's the type of this problematic account? Standard or Administrator?
