This policy setting determines whether users must press CTRL+ALT+DEL before they log on. If you enable this policy setting, users can log on without this key combination. If you disable this policy setting, users must press CTRL+ALT+DEL before they log on to Windows unless they use a smart card for Windows logon. A smart card is a tamper-proof device that stores security information.
Countermeasure:
Configure the Disable CTRL+ALT+DEL requirement for logon setting to Disabled.
Potential Impact:
Unless they use a smart card to log on, users will have to simultaneously press three keys before the logon dialog box will display.
Parameter:
[enabled/disabled]
Technical Mechanism:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL
(2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System!DisableCAD
