Windows 7 client - painted into a corner

[jchriste]

I think I've painted myself into a Windows 7 corner. (1) I need to be able to be able to login to eDirectory as any user in a given container, but login to the workstation automatically as a specific restricted user. (2) I also need to be able to be able to log in to the local workstation as an administrative user from time to time.

I have set up the Windows 7 client properties and the Windows 7 settings so I can do #1 but I can't change the Windows 7 user. Is there any way to do what used to be pretty straightforward under XP?

This is for an image that will be used on 80 computers.

TIA,
Jon

for #2, why not login as 'workstation only' first, and then into edirectory
once your at your local admin user's desktop

Since students use these computers and they are minors, we must make it so they can't get to a desktop and have access to the Internet without being authenticated by their network ID. I removed the Workstation Only option from the user. Since the user is a limited user, it can't add the option back. 😞
