I have a case where i have to login to the computer using active directory logon name only. The user will enter only active directory logon name on the main login screen of windows and click on OK button then the domain computer should fetch the password from AD and login to the computer automatically.
Please help me regarding this.

What I have tried:

i have changed some registry values and group policy for achieving what i have mentioned above but nothing works.

This sounds like a huge security risk and one that I don't think is possible, without serious hacking.

What you're trying to do is not possible. Active Directory doesn't store the passwords; it stores password hashes. There is no way to retrieve the password, and there is no way to log in with just the password hash.

Even if it was possible, this would be a major security risk, as Ryan pointed out. You might as well not have any passwords on your user accounts!
