I could logon to server at the server itself as admin.but when I tried to log on from a different computer the server would not recognise any passwords.
all passwords are correct.

Hi Stephen,

You could check that both the server and the netlogon services are started and running ok. Also check in Event Viewer to see any system messages.

Hope this helps,
Gary

Also check in user manager Account policy. Disable and check all the others options.

Check if netlogon service is running, also try to synchronize the entire domain from your PDC..make sure you have the latest service pack (SP6) and re-install it, sometimes this will take care of the problem.

Check the User Rights in User Manager for Domains. Make sure that Authenticated Users have the right to Access This Computer From The Network.
