I configure our laptops for remote users - I receive them, configure them, then ship them off to people in the field.

We don't give local admin rights to our users, so the users cannot enroll their fingerprints when they receive the laptop, but the 'User Enrollment' screen pops up each and every startup, with no 'do not show this again' option.

Does anyone know of a way to disable this on startup, short of uninstalling the fingerprint software? I'd like to disable it until such time as I'm remotely assisting this user and temporarily granting them local admin rights.

I'm still interested in any opinions / tips on this. I finally did the following, as a temporary workaround - I opened up the registry key HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/CurrentVersion/Run, and put a 'rem' in front of the entry for 'cssauth' (that way I can quickly restore it in the future).

It seems ridiculous that IBM won't offer a way to suppress this!

Have the same silly problem on a T43. All I did was to untick the entry for 'cssauth' .. using this very useful (free) applet:

Not the final solution, but it's easy and it works.
