Your system administrator should be able to tell you this...
Change the registry values before you log off....

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultDomainName"="YourDomain"
"DefaultUserName"=""
"AltDefaultUserName"=""
"AltDefaultDomainName"="YourDomain"
