IMPORTANT: This article contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information about how to back up, restore, and edit the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
If a third-party Gina.dll file is installed and the fUseDefaultGina value in the following registry key is set to 0x1, the third-party Gina.dll file is still used for the main console on the server:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\Console

This setting should force the Msgina.dll file to be used.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To use the default Gina for Terminal Server clients, use the following steps:  Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). Locate the fUseDefaultGina value under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp

NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability. On the Edit menu, click REG_DWORD, type 0x1, and then click OK. Quit Registry Editor.
