    I set up server 2003 and set up some users it was going well and they could all log in fine for example

    User name: scott.bishop
    Password: Password1
    Domain: Contoso

    But now when I log in I have to put:

    User name: [email protected]
    Password: Password1
    Domain: "Can not enter anything"

    Why can they no longer log in the way they use to?

    Check the user logon name in the account property of the user in AD:

    [​IMG]

    The first one is primarily for Windows 2000 & above, however pre-2000 (the old way still works). If it is blank (or different to what is was before) then that is one of the reason why you can't log in via that way.

    Edit: ignore the red arrow, it's the first picture I found with the required tab open :)

    The pre 2000 windows login works without the @contoso.com and it is just a standalone server.

    I wondered why it useto work without the @contoso.com and what had made it stop working.

    It's a stand alone server? So not joined to a domain?

    Ok, you've really got to make sure all the info is correct when relaying it... There's a big difference between a stand-alone server and a domain controller:

    Anyway, what AndiC said is correct

    By using the full username: [email protected], there is no need to put the domain as the domain is already implied by the "@contoso.com"

    If it wasn't, he wouldn't be able to log on with the credentials he's already mentioned.

    Rob, have you been tinkering with group policy, and more specifically security policies? That could affect this I think.

    Not sure if I'm on the right lines based on what you've wrote but log onto your server, go into control panel, system properties and you should see a tab called "computer name". Either click Network ID to use the wizard or click Change to add your server to your contoso.com domain.

    I set my domain up as .local as it is not a FQDN, hence not routable through the internet. The .local domain is a commonly used standard but you can use .anything or .whocares if you want.

    I don't think the account lockout policy would affect it, but there are no doubt others that could.

    No :( if I use the logon name i have to put the @contoso.com or it wont let me login but if i use the pre-windows 2000 name then it lets me login without putting the @contoso.com.
