Not prompted for userID/password or domain on remote network

[Guest]

I am connecting to a domain on a remote network. I can't be certain of the
version of Windows on the remote network, but I believe it to be Windows NT.

I was able to configure a Windows Me PC so that the remote network prompted
for a userID/password and domain. I have been unable to configure Windows XP
Pro (SP2) in the same way. I believe the difference between the two versions
of Windows is that I could log on to Windows Me without supplying a
userID/password while Windows XP Pro requires a userID/password. The remote
network must be detecting that a userID/password has already been entered and
therefore doesn't prompt for it. This prevents my remote network logon
script from executing.

I have tried running in compatibility mode for both Windows 2000 and Windows
NT. I've tried using the guest account to log on to the Windows XP Pro PC.
I've tried running the connection program (company-supplied VPN) as a
different user. I've even tried setting up a "default" user account similar
to the "default" account available in Windows Me. The remote network is
still not requesting a userID/password or domain when connecting, and the
logon script will not execute. (As information, I am actually connecting to
the network and can view other computers in my workgroup. I just can't
trigger the logon script to execute and I can't execute it manually due to
security restrictions - probably also due to the fact that I'm not prompted
for the remote network userID/password.)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

After the first logon have you tried logging off and then logging
back on with the same account? If that works then you might want
to look here:

You need to disable this feature through your machines local
group policy. You to be an administrator on your PC.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried changing the policy setting and logging
back in twice, but it didn't resolve the problem.

Sorry to hear that didn't work. If you got this to work in ME it
should work in XP. Did you try shutting off the Windows firewall?
That's the only other good suggestion I can come up with.

You might want to post your original question to the newsgroup
that deals with remote access issues. You can access it through
Outlook Express here:

If you want to access it through the MS web based interface, go

Another option is to direct your question to one of the Windows
2000 Server groups.
