How to Change the Number of Domain Logon Cache Entries in Vista

Information

CachedLogonsCount Determines how many domain logon entries Vista saves in the logon cache on the local computer. By default, when connecting to a domain Vista will cache the domain credentials locally so that they can be used to login even when the domain isn't available. This will show you how to change how many user account logon entries Vista saves in the logon cache on the local (your) computer.

Tip

You can set the CachedLogonsCount value to 0 (number zero) to disable logons to the computer while not connected to the domain.

WARNING

This will only work for computers that are configured to login to a domain. It will not for the Vista Home Basic and Home Premium editions.
