Re: Clients not able to login to Domain

Tony,

1. How did you join the laptop to the domain? ie. Did you manually join the
network or did you use the "http://servername/connect computer

2. Can you post IPCONFIG results for both the SBS Server, one of the clients
that are not working as well as the Laptop that is.

3. I assume that you have check the permissions on the share in question.
As a test please try adding Domain Users to both the Share and the Directory
giving them full access. What are the results

4. Do the same as step 3 but remove Domain Users and replace with Everyone
with full rights on the share and directory. What are the results
If you are anything like me you might forget to remove these rights later so
you might want to make yourself a note.

Regards
Steve
