Hi Ibrahim,

Most often you create a machine account to get the pc on the network. The machine account authenticates the PC to the network. The user is normally authenticated via the single sign-on application.

What single sign-on product are you using...

Are you talking about a shared device?  So one users put his or her credentials and then later on another person users that machine?  If so, I know windws 7 has a feature when setting up a wireless profile to check a box to save the credentials.  Windows XP if I remember, can't.  What you can do is remove the credential from the registry.  You can create a batch file that runs when the machine boots up or shuts down, or just simply have users click on the batch file on the desktop prior to loggin in.  Here are some links:

Hi

Please,how to make a script for the below?

Entered this key into the registry and the credentials get removed on every boot: -

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

"WindowsCachedUser"=reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Eapol\UserEapInfo" /f

Excellent for us in the College with laptops that can be used by both students and staff.

Thank you

Try this and rename it .bat

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"WindowsCachedUser"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Eapol]
"UserEapInfo"=-

Take a look at this site. This explains it better. You need to add this to the top
