Vista Business - Logon Issue. I am a complete newbie to Vista and might be doing something completely wrong which some of you more experienced guys will probably see as a stroll in the park, so here goes... I have a HP Compaq 6720s laptop with Vista Business installed. It will be used on a school network and has been configured to run on the admin domain, by going to system properties then computer name, selecting change, assigning the computer name, then the domain name (from workgroup to domain). The local profile has been set for each user by going to My Computer and right clicking the icon, then selecting manage, selecting local users & groups, users, then groups and ensuring admin access is available. After a reboot prompted by setting the domain to admin, I end up with the login screen and select Ctrl+Alt then Del, but then something different from the norm happens... Upon entering the username "administrator", the domain changes from admin to local machine before I get a chance to enter the administrator password. There is a prompt when this happens and the only way I can get into the administrator account is as follows... Username: admin\administrator Password: <administrator password> I feel sure I have missed something somewhere and would appreciate any help you can offer to put me back on the right path. Cheers in advance. |
