Using Wave fingerprint software on a domain environment?

Question

Hello. We got a bunch of D620's with the fingertouch reader. And i finally found the software for it, even though it isn't easy on with the small information Dell gives about the software on the support.dell.com site. ;) The problem is that it doesn't really seems like it works with domain users which arent stored locally on the notebook. We use Active Directory to control user rights, is there something in there which would allow people to use fingerprint login on their D620's? Or are there any other ways og programs which will make it possible to login with the fingerprint reader? Regards Chris Madsen

Microsoft's fingerprint software does not support Domains either   http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/archive/2004/12/03/274170.aspx

Sad. :( But i'm still looking for some kind of solution. I know there is a way to make it work, because i have seen it in action on a domain. Regards CV

Did you ever find a solution?   We are setting up our first fingerprint laptop (D420) and are having problems with domain auth as well. cannot find any settings regarding domain auth in the Wave software.   I did find a bulletin that suggests upgraded our version so I am going to try that today.   http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?docid=1478933AB31BC7BBE0401E0A551720E5&c=us&l=en&s=dhs   If you have a working answer, please let me know what you did to resolve it.
