I would like to know from Java code if the machine that I'm on is running active directory or that it has active directory installed (e.g. service may be stopped). Is there a reliable registry key to inspect? This is specifically for Windows 2008. I found info on the web that mentions HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSDTC\Security\DomainControl...

How do you change the settings on a windows server 2008 so that the login screen for remote desktop doesn't show any user names? I want to revert back to the old 2003 screen as this prompts for both a username and password.
