Re: Domain vs local logon

Because the system is trying to help you and sending the userid/password across the wire to auth you on the remote system with the other ID. This is just one reason why you shouldn't use the same password on your accounts.

Hello everyone,

I have a local admin account on an XP Professional PC with the same name and logon credentials as another admin account on a domain controller. The XP PC has been joined to the domain. I typically logon to the XP PC by entering my credentials once but I seem to be able to access domain resources and run applications within the domain without problem. Can anyone explain this as I believe the two accounts should have different SIDs.

Thank you in advance for your assistance
