Hey Bro67,
thank you for your reply,
yep, its a work laptop and its a DELL Latitude 7270.
is there a way we can disable the smart card login? - i tried playing around with the registry but that caused me more problems then fix

You cannot disable Smart Card Login, since it is a work laptop and messing with the registry would report back to the IT group when your laptop connects to the domain and has those logs pulled for the Domain to keep track of any changes.

If you want to make changes on a laptop, I would suggest doing it with your own, not with the property of someone else.

I found this. See if it will help. Does involve GPEDIT and policies. Possibly a BIOS mod, too.

They still would not be able to make those changes, since the connection to the domain will put back the GPO how it is on the Domain Manager.

He is the IT guy, therefore the Domain Manager (human side). Only posted that for reference.
