I have win2000 clients authenticating to a win2000 DC. Some clients allow specific Users to authenticate and other User receive an error message regarding the incorrect entry of their password. However, these Users can authenticate from a different client. I have checked passwords, reset passwords, etc and still have this issue with specific Users.

Thoughts anyone?

Thank you,

Timothy

This may seem to obvious but it's worth investigating. Try changing keyboards on problem clients and also try entering the user pasword yourself.

Other easy check is to make sure they are logging in to the domain and not the local PC. Some authentication Windows may have this information hidden, so you may need to check.

If this does not work, try re-joining the PC to the domain.

If you can login with any user to the PC, rejoining will not help.
