I have Windows Vista Business edition on a new computer that I'm trying to
connect to an existing domain. It's giving me nothing but grief.
I've setup an account on the machine as a local administrator for the
machine. The username and password are the same as a username and password
on the domain.
when I enter the domain name, I get the Windows Security window asking my
username and password.
Entered.
It responds with "Logon failure: unknown username or bad password". I've
tried various combinations of "domainname\username", "domainname/username"
(mostly because I can never remember which way the slash goes),
"administrator" for username, and even created a new user on the domain with
admin rights. Nothing works.
The network (in the Vista machine) is setup for a private network, with
network discovery on, file sharing on, purlic folder sharing on and password
protected sharing off.
What am I doing wrong? I don't have much hair left, but I'm about to pull
that out too.
Several weeks ago, I sucessfully connected my laptop with Vista Ultimate
with no problem at all.
