How to give a domain user the right to log into a computer in Windows 8.1 when there is no network connection to the domain?

Question

System administration

There is an enterprise domain, there is a laptop that is connected to the domain and a user with domain administrator rights.

Захожу в панель управления -> "Учетные записи пользователей" -> Управление учетными записями -> Добавляю доменного пользователя и назначаю ему роль - администратор.

At the same time, in the absence of a network, I can’t log in to this user, but I can log in under the live.com user, moreover, for the live.com user there is a folder in local profiles, but for a domain user I don’t see such a folder

Answer 1

If domain policies do not include the requirement for forced authentication from a domain controller, then it is enough to log in as a domain user on a laptop once for its profile to be cached.
After that, you can log in without having a connection to the domain network.

Answer 2

Set in gpo password caching 30 logins

Answer 3

the profile is created at the first login of the user
once you will have to authenticate, being connected to the domain network
after that, regardless of whether you are connected to the domain, you will be able to log in as your user by caching the password (in the domain it is enabled by default if no one turned it off or did not change the authentication parameters, then there will be no problems)
