absolutely necessary, it is not the
recommended method to log in
. Using
the Initia

not provide the
same level of
security as the usual authentication
method of logging in using user name,
domai
n, and password.
The Initial Access Code can only be
used one time, immediately after
activation. The
first domain login

This policy does not come into play
when connected to the
network (there
is a connection to AD
), because
authentication with AD is attem

This policy only comes into play when
the computer is not connected to the
ne
twork and an unknown user attempts
to log in (meaning, a user that has
not logged in to the com
puter before
--
no credentials have been cached).
