Windows Logon View 4.5

When users connect to their VM through VMware View 4.5, they cannot enter their user name until they have clicked in the window with their mouse. Is there a way to make the Windows logon screen active as soon as it comes up?

So you're asking whether they will always have to click the "tile" in the logon screen to tell Windows that they want to enter a username/password? If you aren't using SSO, then I think they will probably have to. There may be ways to customize this directly in Windows via GPO's but I'm not sure. I believe this is a common issue between PCoIP and RDP in that Windows doesn't know what type of credentials the user will want to enter.

Thanks for the response. Correct, in cases where SSO is not being used, users are required to click in the Windows Log On dialog box before typing their username. I will see if I can find something in GP that addresses this.
