    I was wondering if anyone that has received a D620 with the UPEK option has tried it within a Windows Active Directory environment? Specifically, can you use the UPEK to sign on to a domain?

    I got a MS keyboard w/ fingerprint reader a while back and it won't let you sign in to a domain, only a computer that is configured for a workgroup environment.

    The finger print reader itself is not whats causing your problem, it's the software being used with the fingerprint reader, Wave Embassy Trust Suite. According to the ReadMe file that comes with the software...


    And here is more information from the software providers website...
