I have had windows vista installed for about 6 months now with out any
issues. Yesterday and Today, the shares which are on an AIO server are not
accessible to this machine. Keep getting "referenced account is currently
locked out and may not be logged on to". Authentication is done by a windows
NT box, which appears to be stopping the above from happening. Have rebooted
the backup NT servers and the NT box. Short of removing this vista from the
domain and rejoining, is there a better, easier way?
Thanks
 
Well, after spending a great deal of time on this. Discovered the Vista
started validating to one of the Backup NT Servers. Shut that server down
and now the Vista can get to the shares. Thought the point of having a
backup server was to take over when the primary was down or couldn't reply to
the inbound requests in a timely manner. So short of being down a backup
server, all seems to be working ok. Sure would like some sort of answer and
be able to bring the backup server online again.
