Re: Cached Credentials

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



The password was correct. He gave me the password. I attempted to log
on to the domain while it was disconnected from the net work -> got the
error. The cached credentials for my domain admin account still worked
while the computer was off the network. I plugged the computer into the
network, and it logged in fine for his domain acct.. I let it sit on
the network for about an hour.

I've now disconnected him from the network, and throughout the day am
going to log in and log out again to try and get the error again. So
far after 20 attempts and 4 hours it is still ok to log in while "on
the road" using the cached credential.

Are you sure he hasn't forgotten his password? Did you have him try and
logon to a domain machine with the same password. This would verify that he
wasn't using an incorrect one.

I have a salesman who is going to be working from home, VPN connection
in. Client is Windows XP sp2, domain is Windows 2003 R2, He has been
gone for 3 days, able to login with no direct contact with the DC.. he
has been logging in using the cached credentials, and able to VPN in
just fine.

Today he got the message "cannot log in because the domain is not
available" it seems that the token only allowed him to login a certain
amount of times before it needs to have some DC communication.

How can I set this up, I am trying to avoid him logging in locally.

I can't seem to find any security policy that fits the bill. Thanks,
