I currently have a situation where I placed a computer on a domain. This is a computer that is in a classroom and its connected to a projector and sound system. Visiting professors use it to display powerpoint presentations and whatever else they feel may be relevant to the class. It was decided that this machine should be placed on the domain so that the local professors who have limited access to the network and certain shares can easily access those shares by logging in to the pc with their domain username and pass. Typically though, visiting professors as well as the local ones all use a standard local account that they all share for the purpose of simple presentations.
The problem is, after the computer was added to the domain, it no longer displays the local user accounts. In order for a visiting professor to login, they would have to type computername\username then the password in order to login instead of just clicking on the user and then logging in. I can't tell you how much back and forth this causes for me. Is there a way that I can add the user accounts back to the login screen so that they can just click on it and input the credentials like they did for the standard local accounts before the add to the domain, or is this some type of security feature that would have to be allowed by a higher admin above me?
