SYMPTOMS
On a computer where the Friendly User Interface (Welcome Screen) option is set, if you join the computer to a domain and then restart the computer, you see the classic Windows logon screen instead of the &quot;friendly&quot; welcome screen.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the Friendly User Interface (Welcome Screen) option is available only on a stand-alone computer or in a workgroup. Logging on to a domain structure turns off this option.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
