Re: Why am I always prompted for name/pwd when accessing domain re

Once a machine is joined to a domain you should have at least two options available in the logon dialog box. If it is showing the local computer option you enter your local username /password and do a local login. If the domain name is showing you enter the domain username/password and log into the domain.

If you are at the local machine login and you want to log into the domain you can enter your username in the user@xxxxxxxxxxxx format to do a domain login.

My issue kind of starts where your issue ended. Now that you're able to log
in to your work domain, do you have to input the domain\username syntax? If
not, how did you overcome it? If so, is there a way to change this so users
can just enter their username and password?
