Server caching credentials? "Jeff" <topnikko[ at ]hotmail.com.discuss> 06.07.2007 20:08:55 I have renamed the Administrator account on my domain. I have one Windows Server 2003 server that refuses to allow me to log on with the renamed account. It will allow me to log on using the old account name and password only. All the other servers on my domain recognize the renamed account and password. Any advise on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Additional information that could help - the error message; whether you can log on using any other administrative (or not) account, or connect to the server using management tools; and if computer account is okay in AD. -- Svyatoslav Pidgorny, MS MVP - Security, MCSE -= F1 is the key =- * http://sl.mvps.org * http://msmvps.com/blogs/sp * "Jeff" <topnikko[ at ]hotmail.com.discuss> wrote in message news:e2q84lAwHHA.4736[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

Re: Server caching credentials? "Roger Abell [MVP]" <mvpNoSpam[ at ]asu.edu> 07.07.2007 06:09:42 Can you grant login right to a domain account that has never ever logged into that machine and then successfully log in ? Does the event log (provided enabled to so log) showing that the login by the old name was a cached login ? As Slav indicated it basically sounds like the machine is not in proper contact with domain control.

Re: Server caching credentials? "Jeff" <topnikko[ at ]hotmail.com.discuss> 07.07.2007 17:07:27 You guys were both correct. I checked and this server, our web server, wasn't part of the domain. Thank you. "Jeff" <topnikko[ at ]hotmail.com.discuss> wrote in message news:e2q84lAwHHA.4736[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... [Quoted Text] >I have renamed the Administrator account on my domain.
