When I start up my Windows computer, I get a Kerberos login dialog box. How can I get rid of it?

Answer

  1. Check to see if it was launched with -autoinit
    1. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
      • Note: In Windows 7, the path is C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
    2. Right-click on Leash Kerberos Ticket Manager or Network Identity Manager Shortcut.
    3. If the Target field has a trailing -autoinit, remove it
    4. Click OK.

  2. If that didn't work, check to see if its General options are set to obtain new credentials at startup.
    1. Open the main Network Identity Manager window, either by clicking on its icon in the system tray by the clock, or by finding the program in the Start/Programs menu.

    2. Choose the menu Options -> General
    3. If obtain new credentials at startup is on, turn it off.

    4. Click OK.
