Windows 10 Version 1607 (Anniversary update) - change default logon domain name in the logon screen

Problem Statement:
We found that the Windows 7 and Windows 10 (1607) have different behavior of the GPO -  Interactive logon: Do not display last user name - Enabled


Both machine domain is different from user machine, Windows 10 under abc.com (abc) and Windows 7 under def.com (def)


And the user is under nmo.com (nmo) domain.


After the first time logon, the Windows 7 able to "remember" the user domain (nmo) as the default logon domain for user, but Windows 10 cannot (It keeps abc - the machine domain).

Workaround solution:
We found that we need to add the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DefaultLogonDomain"="nmo"


Remark:

The problem being fixed on 1703 (15063.608) (This patch level which is I test, maybe it already fixed on early than this patch level on 1703)
What we need to do is enter your domain name (e.g. mno\username) first time login, after that your able to login without enter your domain name again. (Same behavior of Windows 7)

How to resolve the symbol in command prompt become "Yen" dollar on Win 10 (1607) when set locale to "Chinese (Traditional, Hong Kong SAR) without using Windows Update?

Problem: The symbol in command prompt become "Yen" dollar when we set our locale to "Chinese (Traditional, Hong Kong SAR)" since the command prompt using "MS Gothic" which is Japanese Supplemental Fonts

The reason of using "MS Gothic" seems to be the machine is missing Chinese (Traditional) Supplemental Fonts: DFKai-SB, MingLiU, MingLiU_HKSCS, PMingLiU (We do the same configuration on other machine which is request us to download "Chinese (Traditional) Supplemental Fonts", since the problematic machine have been disable Windows Update, it did not request to download.)

Solution: Since the Windows Update have been disabled or managed by WSUS

We need to download the "Features on Demand" and "Language pack" and install them locally (Offline)

 

We able to download the Features on Demand for 1607 only but not the Language pack for 1607 from VLSC

But we found the direct download http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/msdownload/update/software/updt/2016/07/lp_09c06c2907d6ecb5becd01178563808bef832e7b.cab

 

Command use:

Install Chinese Traditional - Language pack zh-TW (Remark: zh-HK on 1607 is no longer exist, using the zh-TW is same as zh-HK on 1607)

DISM.EXE /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Source\lp_09c06c2907d6ecb5becd01178563808bef832e7b.cab

Install Chinese Traditional Fonts

DISM.EXE /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:D:\Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Fonts-Hant-Package.cab

 

Issue resolved:
