Local account is looking for domain controller?!?!?

Brian_McKnight

I am attempting to congifure a laptop for one of our executives. The laptop
is loaded with Vista Business and is joined to our corporate domain for
purposes of inventory/management. I created a local account for the person
so that he can log in from outside the building. However, when I attempt to
authenticate locally with this account, I am receiving the following message.
.. .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are currently no login servers available to service the logon reques
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I take the latop off the domain, I can access the local account. But
why would a local account be going out looking for a domain controller
anyway? I have never come across this with XP. Has anyone seen this
behavior in Vista before?

Hi,
Just checking: are you using the Computername\User format in the username
input box?
