    Hi Michael,

    I tested this in my lab and it works for me (I set the policy on Default
    Domain Policy)

    How did you set the policy? Did you set it like this
    http://freeweb.siol.net/mpihler/ctrl-policy.jpg?

    Additional steps that I took where:
    * refresh the policy on the DC
    * rebooted the client _and_ logged on (I was still required to press
    CTRL+ALT+DEL). After successful logon I logged off and policy was applied (I
    didn't need to press CTRL+ALT+DEL any more).

    I hope this helps,

    Mike
