Hi,
I work remotely. I typically login to my work domain on my laptop, even when
it is not on the network (WORK\a.user). A week or so ago, this login simply
failed: I had been logged in and was unable to log in a few hours later. I
received the same error one receives on a bad password. I can think of no
reason for this: I made no changes to the password, I wasn't connected to any
domain, and I didn't make any software changes. The domain doesn't enforce
any password expiration policy. I double checked with the sys admin: he
confirmed they'd made no changes and was at a loss to explain the problems I
am having.
Since then, I've only been able to log on to this machine using the local
machine's administrator account. My domain username fails. However, when I
log in to the work server remotely, I can access it using the same (old)
username and password without any problem. This all suggests the problem is
on the local computer, not the domain.
Since I work remotely, it's difficult to connect to the domain for any
substantial period of time (and I am not a domain administrator). I can't do
anything with the WORK/a.user account and haven't set-up the LOCAL/a.user
account.
This problem has me bewildered - can anyone offer any explanation or, more
usefully, a fix to this.
Thanks,
Geoff.
