Need to lock in DefaultDomainName for all users

I've found that if I reboot my Windows 2k Terminal
Server, the DefaultDomainName value dissapears and my
Terminal Server users are faced with deciding whether to
log into the machine or selecting the domain we're in.
Does anyone have a script I could run at startup to set
these values everytime I reboot the system?
 
The value for DefaultDomainName is taken from the last login on the
console. Log on with a Domain account and the problem is fixed.

You can also set it in the Registry, I believe (check this!):
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
DefaultDomainName
 
Vera,

Thanks for the tip. I noticed that the last console login
did the trick - as long as we remember to do this!

I noticed, through many reboots, that the
DefaultDomainName clears out after every reboot, if we
login another way. Shouldn't there be a way to "hard-
code" this somewhere? Should be but perhaps not!

Thanks once again for sharing your grey cells.
