Open your registry and find or create the key below.

Create a new String value, or modify the existing value, called "CachedLogonsCount" and set it according to the value data below.

Exit your registry; you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.

Note: With caching disabled or the maximum has been reached, the user is prompted with this message: "The system cannot log you on now because the domain [DOMAIN_NAME] is not available."
