Configuring Windows Cached Credentials

When the client successfully logs on to a domain controller, the user profile is saved in cache. This cached information is used if subsequent logons to the domain controller fail.

To configure this option in the client registry:

1. Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon.

2. Make a new key CachedLogonsCount, with the valid value range of 0 to 50.

   The value of the key is the number of previous logon attempts that a server will cache.

   A value of 0 disables logon caching. A value over 50 will only cache 50 logon attempts.
