You receive message "Please wait while the domain list is created" when changing the "Log on to" field

Issue
You receive message "Please wait while the domain list is created" when changing the "Log on to" field.

Cause
This message can occur when Sysprep is run on a machine, and a new name is entered for the machine.

The registry contains the DefaultDomainName and AltDefaultDomainName registry keys with the AltDefaultDomainName field containing the value of the old machine name.

When the "Log on to" field is modified Windows attempts to verify the domain as listed in the AltDefaultDomainName field.

Scenario
A machine is built with the name "Workstation1"

During the Sysprep mini-setup wizard a different name is entered for the workstation, "Workstation2".

The value of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon /v AltDefaultDomainName is still set to the original workstation, "Workstation1".

Workaround
Enter CTL+ALT+DEL again to remove the message and enter your credentials and logon to the workstation or domain.
This sets the AltDefaultDomainName to the logged on domain.
