Re: Problem signing in with laptop outside of office

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi Bob! Thanks for the response. However, this link provided is an answer
for XP and it merely says to apply the latest service pack. This is Vista
Business and it has SP1. Assuming it is still a cached credentials issue,
how do I check the cached credentials setting on Vista and make the change
that would allow these laptops to sign in outside the network? Thanks!

Sounds like credentials issue. make sure the domain cache credentials is
enabled or it is saved correct. This search result may help.

We are implementing four Vista Business laptops that access the domain
network (Windows 2003 R2 x64 server). They access the network at the
office through wireless and all work fine there; the user of each laptop
signs in to their domain user account. The problem we run in to is
outside the office. Two of the laptops can sign in to their domain user
account just fine without being on the domain network, but the other two
get an error: "There are currently no logon servers available to service
the logon request". They are all configured the same, and one of the
non-working ones is an identical make and model to one that works. It
doesn't seem to matter if they have locally stored profiles or not. So
what's up with this? They don't want to be forced to sign on in as a
local user and have no access to domain resources. What can we do to
remove this problem? Thanks!
