How to Configure “Smart Card” as the Default Logon Alternative on “Windows 7”
by admin on Oct.13, 2009, under WINDOWS
Create a reference image for the Windows 7 client deployment, where SmartCard service is set to “Automatic” (Default is set to “Manual). After installing the clients run a task sequence thru SCCM or MDT 2010 that modifies the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
DisableCAD = 1 (Default is 0)
Copy and paste the following “Task Sequence command” todo that:
reg add “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon” /v DisableCAD /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f
And create the following registry key to have “Smart Card” as the default alternative during the first logon:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\
LastLoggedOnProvider = {8bf9a910-a8ff-457f-999f-a5ca10b4a885}
Copy and paste the following “Task Sequence command” todo that:
reg add “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI” /v LastLoggedOnProvider /d {8bf9a910-a8ff-457f-999f-a5ca10b4a885} /t REG_SZ /f
When the OS installation and the task sequence is finished, you will only see the “Insert Smartcard to logon” tile.
