Disable of the icon "Network sign-in" on Logon Screen

Question

Hello.
I need to disable the icon "Network sign-in" for VPN connection on Logon screen (Windows 10) for all users programmatically (C++). I know that the user can hide this screen by unchecking the checkbox “Allow other people to use this connection” (VPN settings in Network and Sharing Center), and I need to do this without tasking the user to go through the checkboxes for all VPN connections.

Is there a registry key corresponding to this checkbox “Allow other people to use this connection” that I can change?

I tried creating the registry key DontDisplayNetworkSelectionUI (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows \ System) and setting its value to 1 and it partially works, but that hides only the Network icon and only if the PC is not inside the domain.

Answer 1

Hi ,

You might try to run following command to disable "Network sign-in" on Logon Screen.

E.g.: Set-VpnConnection -Name "Test3" -AllUserConnection $false

I have found a mention of "AllUserConnection" in the registry here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\EnterpriseResourceManager\AllowedNodePaths\WMI\MSFT_VpnConnection
and here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\EnterpriseResourceManager\AllowedNodePaths\WMI\MSFT_VpnConnection

but the use of this key is very implicit.
