Windows 10: How do I set up the fingerprint logon as a domain user login?

I was able to get it set up the fingerprint login for a local user logon. But i am not able to set it up for a domain user login.


I know it is possible. My dad has the same computer and was able to get it to work.

How to enable fingerprint sensor while in domain and linux active directory

In my office we have a Linux based server (nethserver) which handles stuff like samba share, DHCP, and newly added: active directory (for our Windows clients) etc.

Now because of the lack of security I decided to use the server as AD controller to enable domain user login on the Windows clients.

So now I really want to use a fingerprint sensor for the colleges to login but it is greyed out in the account settings.

So what is working:

• Active Directory on Server
  
• adding windows PC to domain
  
• login as a domain user on windows mashine
  

What I need to work:

• fingerprint sensor login (windows hello maybe?)
  
• I think PIN login is required for fingerprint login (?)
  

What I have already tried:

• in GPO allowed fingerprint sensor login (computer config AND user config (just to be sure) and Windows Hello, PIN login.
  

I think I read somewehere that I HAVE TO use a Windows Server domain to enable Windows Hello for Business and so the PIN login or Fingerprint sensor.

Does anyone know if there is a workaround to enable fingerprint reader for Windows clients in a domain?

 

How to see errors if fingerprint set-up fails

Hi Pranas,

A fingerprint login is another way to access your computer. It is part of security features and settings of Windows 10. You can re-establish fingerprint authentication anytime as long as you have a
Microsoft Fingerprint Reader. Visit the links below for a comprehensive guide on how to add a fingerprint login to your PC.

• How to add, change, or remove a Fingerprint Logon by using the Fingerprint Logon Manager for
  use with the Fingerprint Reader.

How to pick what domain users are shown on the logon screen list?


What I am trying to do is select certain domain accounts to be shown as clickable avatars on the logon screen. These would be static users that I pick to be displayed on there and then of course the "other" selection to logon to a user not in the list.
