I have no idea what the difference is. That's why I'm asking the question. Perhaps there is some registry (or other type) setting that I'm unaware of that could be affecting this?
I'm not sure what your second question it. The usernames and passwords are the same on both the domain and the local machine. I'm using the AD integrated DNS. Curt From: Andrew S.

Is the case of those passwords identical to what you think it should be? What are they using for DNS?

I have created domain accounts in the AD forest with the same user name and password as they have on their XP Home system. Most of them can use domain resources without any authentication to the server. They just log on to their computer and it works. There are two computers where this is not the case. After logging on to XP, if they click Start | Run and type in \\server <file:///\\server> it prompts for a username and password. You can type in the same username and password that you used to log on to the computer and you can then use resources on the server. Can anyone suggest why the same username & password works on some computers but not others? Thanks for your help.
