I recently had to reinstall win2000 sever on a server (hard disk
crashed) and encountered a very strange problem. On all the computers
that have XP Pro, only the username that I initially used to first
logon to the the domain from that computer, works. I cannot use any
other valid usernames. It wasn't like this before. Before, you can
connect the XP computer to the domain with any of the valid
usernames. One one XP computer, the initial username is Amber and
that's the only one that allows me to connect to the domain for that
computer. Any other username, I get a domain cannot be found error.
On the other XP machine, Shauni was the initial username and that's
the only on that works for this machine. Can somebody help me? Thank
you in advance

Nevermind. I figured out what was wrong. The two XP machines needed
to be disconnected off the domain (temporarily assigned to a
workgroup) on the client side and then reconnected back to the domain.
Everything is back to the way it was.
