==== Disabling Startup Recovery ==== When a user's PC shuts down ungracefully, and they choose startup recovery at the next boot. The "recommended" process removes the PC from the AD domain ?!?! Therefore, you can disable the startup recovery prompt altogether. Run this at a command line or put it in a batch file: bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures
