No. We would like to make the domain the default login option.  is this possible? Yes, if you join a PC to a domain, the domain is the default logon provider. If you want another domain as default logon domain you can set that via a group policy.  Even if the domain is listed under the credential screen, the Win7 may require a user to enter the domain name pre their username: - contoso\wayward That can happen, if you do not disable the display of the last logged on user and the last logged on user did only logon locally.     Wolfgang
