Where is the "Automatically use my Windows logon name and password (and domain if any)" Checkbox Reset after Reboot" setting in the registry

Question

Where can I find the registry key that controls this setting in the wireless properties for PEAP? "Automatically use my Windows logon name and password (and domain if any)" check box.

Answer 1

This is not stored in the registry but in the WLAN profile (an XML file).

You can export/import the XML file with the netsh wlan command.

Example to export a profile: netsh wlan export profile <profile_name>

In the XML file, the setting corresponding to the checkbox you are referring to is UseWinLogonCredentials

After being created/imported, the wlan profiles are stored here C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc\Profiles\Interfaces\<INTERFACE_GUID> (this path isn't documented so it may change in future release, I don't recommend modifying the files in there manually. Export/Import with the netsh command instead).

Answer 2

Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

To achive the configuration, we can follow below steps:

1.Run Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.

2.Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Eapol\Parameters\General\Global

 

3.Set the value of AuthMode to 2 to enable the checkbox, or 1 to disable it.

4.Restart the PC to apply the change.
