Laptop off the LAN for greater than 30 days may lose it's ability to connect
to the domain because the machine's password by default changes every 30
days. I've have seen once-in-a-blue-moon situations where a user will
complain they can't logon to their laptop and getting the "No domain
controller available" error message even when they are the only user of
their laptop and the DDP is set remember the cached credentials of the last
10 users to logon and they just used their laptop ON THE LAN the day before.
I have yet to figure this one out but I suspect it's a setting in the
registry somewhere unique to the machine and not policy-based. . :-)
