Abstract:     A system and method of combined user logon-authentication provides enhanced logon performance by utilizing communications with a network access control server for user authentication to provide user account data required for user logon. When a user logs on a computer, the computer initiates a network access control process with a network access control server for obtaining access to network services, including the computer that the user is logging on. During the access control process, the network access control server authenticates the user and queries a directory service for the account data for the user. The network access control server includes the user account data in one of the communication packets sent to the computer in the network access control process. The computer retrieves the user account data from the communication packet and uses the data to complete the user logon.
