I have a .bat file that deletes the login username from Windows 10, so when they log off their name won't appear. I did it by changing the registry:



It works when I run it from my C drive, but it doesn't delete the registry when I run it from my network drive called U from the server.



 echo Resetting last logged on username.
set id = example
%SystemRoot%System32reg.exe DELETE HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAuthenticationLogonUI /v LastLoggedOnUserSID /f
%SystemRoot%System32reg.exe DELETE HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAuthenticationLogonUI /v LastLoggedOnDisplayName /f
echo y|%SystemRoot%System32reg.exe ADD HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAuthenticationLogonUI /v LastLoggedOnUser /d %id% /f
echo y|%SystemRoot%System32reg.exe ADD HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAuthenticationLogonUI /v LastLoggedOnSAMUser /d %id% /f
PAUSE

    How did you run it from the server? Also, there's a setting you can set by Group Policy which tells Windows not to show the previous session's username. This would be the correct way to accomplish what you're trying here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/…

  • What I meant with run it from the server is that I ran it from my network drive. I can't change the policy because we want the users to have their username in their computers, but as a tech I have to go to their computers to help them but sometimes they lock my account by trying to login thinking they are in their account.

  • What error(s) or ouput do you get when you run this from the network drive? Have you tried using PowerShell to do this: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/samples/…

    Try using the UNC path location to the file so with its full UNC path and file name and see if that helps any. So use something like ... \servernamesharenamefolderscript.bat
