more than one AD User on offline Windows 7 Laptop

1

I have three guys sharing a laptop in a location where they will not have internet. I know that windows 7 will cache the last users credentials but will it cache the two or three?

What are my options other than creating a local account (which I would prefer not to do)

You can change the group policy setting Interactive logon: Number of previous logons to cache (in case domain controller is not available) under GPO_name\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options

Microsoft mentions that 2 is a good value for this so one user and one admin can login so 4 may be appropriate for you

+1, but you should add to your answer what to change the value to. Probably 4, allowing the 3 users and and 1 for the admin. – Keltari – 2014-08-09T20:49:25.853
