Hello Steve Audus, Chaucer BEC, Sheffield UK,

Have the useres logged on one tiume before they use the machine as standalone? Check your GPO's for cached credentials setting. Go to:
Computer configuration, windows settings, security settings,local policies, security options, in the right pane "Number of previous logons to cache"(windows 2000) or "Interactive logon:Number of previous logons to cache"(windows 2003)

Best regards

We have a set of teachers laptops, that we have reinstalled Windows XP
Pro Sp3 on, and joined the laptops to the domain, and moved the
laptops into the correct OU.

But when staff take thier laptops home, they can nolonger logon to
thier accounts, because the domain is unavailable.

They used to be able to, and i am no aware of any changes to the Group
Policies that would stop them.

I am really stuck on this, can anyone help?

Thank you.
