Hi Dave,

Thanks for your update.

It is not same for the domain user account and local user account. For the
local user account, the information is saved on each computer individually.
Windows 2000/XP will validate user account locally not from the remote
computer. It will first check if there is same local user, then if the
password is same. If the password is not same, then it will not connect.

As for domain user, the information is saved in the AD database and it need
to contact DC for authentication, so it is unique in the whole domain.

So you can add a local user on the member server and assign same password
as on the client.

Please refer to the following article.

Have a nice day!
