I posted this in the longhorn general but I just read that its going to end in June so I thought i would post here...
I'm trying to logon to Longhorn Beta 2 with my domain admin account and I'm receiveing the following message:
"Security policies on this computer are set to display information about the last interactive logon..."
I remember setting this yesterday but now I can remember where the setting is. The local admin account works. Any thoughts?

Logon error
Logon with the full administrator account... then check Group Policy/Domain Controller Group Policy for a similar setting ;o)

Thanks zack. I only experience this on the longhorn machine and the domain gpo doesnt have much in it - only to not display last user name.
Is this a new setting in Longhorn? If so, can you please tell me where the lgpo is located?
Thanks again.

Found the problem -
Computer Policy\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Logon Options\Display information about prev logons during users logon.
I had this set to enabled, which was causing the problem. I set it to not configured and everything is back to normal.
