Hi
I have question that can solve my problem.
I want to ask that when i logon to windows 2000 domain controller the password i enter will be stored in the cache i think

In the same way if i try to access a shred folder from other domain in adifferent forest i will be prompted for a user name and password for the shared resource on the domain. when i provide it the password will also be stored in the cache since next time i access the shared folder i will not be prompted for a user nameor password.

If any case i want that the password stored in the cache to be flushed or purged out what should be done is there any command do sucesfully purge the contents in the cache

Plz answer this question because if i have do it. I will have restart my computer. Plz mail the answer to my address subhash_sun@rediffmail.com

Your's sincerely
subhash chandra r. Halvi

I am al ittle confused because its sounds like you are wondering if your password is stored in cache..
If you are being prompted to enter a user name and password in a network, than make sure you have TCPIP running correctly and not just running off of NetBeui..
.
Windows does not store passwords in chache in a network. Your user account and computer is assigned a Security Id (SID) that allows your account to browse the resources on the network without having to supply info. You see you account is verifing all the time with it SID rather than looking at your cached password.
.

I would look to make sure your on the network with TCPIP and if you are make sure it is functioning correctly. Try taking NETBEUI off and see if your still accessing the network but make sure you have a local account on the computer so you do not get locked out of the PC. Good Luck

Open Regedit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon\

The right-pane value you want is CachedLogonsCount

Set it to 0 to set your system to not save any cached profiles (with their logon passwords)

hope this helps
