There is no difference when logging on with a UPN vs. logging on with the old NT4 style: they both use Kerberos as their authentication method and both use DNS to find a domain controller. Why you are seeing issues when logging on with a UPN is definitely very odd, but when logging on with a UPN you are logging into the domain.

I just wonder what the actual differences are...although for no other reason than to know, because I definitely do not recommend that people login this way. How this user even figured out that they could use the UPN is beyond me (because they are lucky to know what logging on means). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lou Vega Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 12:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Logon types Perhaps the confusion lies with the fact that even after the drop down is grayed-out when you user [EMAIL PROTECTED] to login, it still "says" either Workstation or the domain depending on what was selected prior to typing in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] login info. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Renouf, Phil Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 12:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Logon types You can't do that. If you type in user@ the domain dropdown box is grayed out and does not apply. The login process uses the information after the @ sign for where to authenticate you, so as long as you are typing in a valid UPN you will get authenticated to the domain just like you do if you type in username, password and choose a domain from the dropdown list, Phil List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
