Cache Credentials Limit

[Brian Anderson]

Is there any limit to how many days I can log into a workstation using
cached credentials?

Hi

No. You can log on an unlimited number of times over a unlimited number of
days.

Torgier, I thought by default you were limited to 10 cached logon
attempts??

I believe interpretation is that the last "ten network logons" are
cached and one of those "cached" logons can then used for logging on to
the disconnected workstation for as many times as you wish.

Yes, that is correct (but the documentation is so poorly written that it is
easy to interpret it the other way).

I had tried "logicly" looking at it for our laptops and decided that you
couldn't really work with it if it refused to let you in after X logins
out on the road. So it had to be the way I described, or there would be
some pretty cranky road warriors!
