Determines the number of times a user can log on to a Windows domain using cached account information.
All previous users' logon information is cached locally so that, in the event that a domain controller is unavailable during subsequent logon attempts, they are able to log on . If a domain controller is unavailable and a user's logon information is cached, the user is prompted with a message that reads as follows:
Windows cannot connect to a server to confirm your logon settings. You have been logged on using previously stored account information. If you changed your account information since you last logged on to this computer, those changes will not be reflected in this session
- Open your Registry
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Create or Modify if exists string value called "CachedLogonsCount"
- Set value as number of logons maximum is 50 logons
- restart windows for setting to take effects
