Initial Access Code String 1-100 characters
String 1-100 characters
This policy is used to log on to a computer when
network access to Dell Server and Active Directory
(AD) are both unavailable. The Initial Acc
ess Code
policy should only be used if absolutely necessary,
it is not the recommended method to log in. Using
the Initial Access Code policy does not provide the
same level of security as the usual authentication
method of logging in using user name, doma
in,
and password.
The Initial Access Code can only be used one time,
immediately after activation. The first domain
login that occurs after the Initial Access Code is
entered is cached and the Initial Access Code
entry field does not displayed again.
