We have two users at a remote office having this problem. When they
arrive at the office with their notebooks, connect their cables and
try to log on, they can't. But if they disconnect the wire, log on
with cached credentials, then re-connect their laptops to the wire,
they're fine and have full access to network resources. So far it's
only just these two guys; none of the others have reported this
problem.

This site has two servers. One is an old NT domain controller server
(we're running in Win2000 mixed-mode AD). The other is a brand new
W2K8 file and print server. Their DNS and points to servers in our
central office, which is a W2K3 shop. Not sure about their WINS, I
forgot to ask. Those old remote office servers used to act as WINS
servers, and are still configured to do that.

We're having one user send his laptop to us to see if we can duplicate
the problem here, since nothing seems out of order with their systems.
I'll know more on Monday or Tuesday. I just thought I'd throw this out
here first to see if this is a known issue under certain
circumstances, to be better prepared next week. If there's a better
newsgroup, please don't hesitate to tell me.

Thanks

Is it possible their passwords got changed, but the change has not yet
replicated, and they cannot contact the PDC Emulator from the site?

That sounds plausible. We'll investigate that. That would be an intra-
server-to-server issue, or a WAN connectivity problem, or both?
