I love the Blue Login Screen from Vista Beta1 so I've modded the imageres.dll under Vista to have the old screen. But this doesn't work under Windows Server 2008.

How Do I change the logon screen:



Any ideas?

Same here, tried changing it by modifying the imageres.dll but no luck. I think there is a another file were it stores the classic logon screen, and server 2008 uses that files img resource. Been looking into many files but can't seem to find it yet, or a way to change it

That's because it is being enforced from tokens.dat. On Vista/Server 2008 there's no GINA anymore for us to tweak like that.

Actually the logon screen in Server 2008 is more like the lack of a logon screen. There are only resources for the Vista logon screen. The blue background is rendered behind both of them.
