Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You enable and then push the "Interactive Logon: Require Smart Card" Group Policy Object to Windows 8.1 clients.

  • On a Windows 8.1 client, you go to the Windows logon screen.

In this scenario, Windows prompts you for the standard user name and password credentials instead of requesting that a smart card be presented.
