Hello,

I have just purchased a Vista Ultimate machine and I'm trying to join my
domain. However, it will not join and says "Login Failure: Uknown user name
or bad password". I've tried using a new login just setup and I've also
tried using pre-existing logins that I know work and neither are successful.


Appreciate any help I can get on this.

Vic
 
Richard,

Yes, in all cases the user has been domain administrator

Are you using a domain administrator name/password to join the domain?

Hello Vic,

Check the LAN manager authentication level on the Vista machine, should be
to high for NT4 domain.

Best regards
