Cannot use the fast user switching.

Me and my partner to use a laptop running Windows XP Home Edition. Up until recently, I was always able to use the fast changing users to switch between myself and my partner (the two administrator) accounts. Since installing AGV PC Tune up, WAS not worked and we both close completely to change username. This takes time and obviously becomes a pain in the rear. Anyone got any ideas?

  • Cisco ISE and the fast user switching

    Greetings,

    In our deployment, we are interested in using the "fast user switching" which lies in the functionality of Windows.   After searching for a while, I see that the native Windows supplicant is not compatible with the fast user switching.   It does not appear that Anyconnect is either.   Can you please inform me as to what suppluicant, I need research to enable the functionality of Switchign user?

    We currently use ISE 1.2 Patch 4.

    Thank you for any assistance.

    David

    Cisco EHT NAC Agent does not support Windows fast user change when you use the native supplicant. This is because there is not clearly the older user disconnecting. When a new user is sent, the Agent is hung on the ID process and the old user session and therefore a new posture cannot take place. According to Microsoft Security policy, it is recommended to disable the fast user switching.

  • Why the fast user switching and the new Windows Search use the Terminal Services?

    Recently, I was struck by a piece of really bad, malicious malware that totally trashed my operating system.  Therefore, as I rebuild my system, I am applying the appropriate safety precautions.  Among the recommendations of Microsoft is to reduce your footprint of security by disabling unnecessary services.  One of these services that I thought I didn't need was Terminal Server services, since it is a way for a person to get to my machine remotely.

    It turns out that, however, other services that I want to use, such as Fast user Switching and window new search utility, depend on the Terminal Server Services.  It makes no sense to me from a safety point of view.  This seems to be a bad design decision, because security trumps utility.

    If Microsoft is listening, I would like to know why you made this decision and you have changed in Windows 7?

    Second, is there a way to always have the Terminal services Server running and at the same time cut access remotely through this service?

    I don't know about the 'new' Windows Search, but what about the fast user switching you ask to run several sessions of Windows when you switch between users (a session for each user connected) and the only way that Windows can do is to act as a quasi Terminal Server, it needs Terminal Server services to run multiple sessions.

    Fast user switching is incorporated with Vista.  When you click Start and go to the arrow next to the lock button, you should see the option to switch to the user.  Is there something that does not work right now with the settings of the user?
