Re: User login between domains in the same tree/frrest

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

You always log on to the domain your account is in, so if your account ir in domain.local you only can log on to that domain, on the other hand, your MACHINE (i.e.) workstation does not have to be in the same domain, so if you create an account: jessicarabbit in the SG domain, and try to log on with this account, you should be able to do so.
You sit behind the workstation, select SG for domain, enter jessicarabbit for username and the correct password, you should be able to log on.

good luck

Is this how it should be?

can a user from a parent domain not login to the child domain because he is
not a member of that domain??

But rather he can be on a worksatation that is connected to the child
domain, and login from there to the parent domain on which his user account
is created?

sorry to try to answer my own question, but is this correct?

Hi eric, thanks for the reply

tree/forrest root domain is domain.local, child is sg.domain.local

I created a new user on domain.local (rogerrabbit), and also added a
workstation to domain.local, i called this workstation WS1.

When i restart the WS1 and get to logon screen, I can select SG or DOMAIN
from the drop down list, i can login to the parent domain (DOMAIN) of which
this workstation and user are a member of.

But if i select SG. I cannot login!

hope this further explaination helps, and that you can assist me further
