Windows 7 Domain Accounts: Automatically preclude the User Login with the Domain?
Shared Domain PC.
: Side Question-- Is there a way to display a user list, like in a home/workgroup environment?
We would like to make the domain the default login option. is this possible?
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
Thanks in advance

No.

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.
