I was under the impression that Windows 2000 suppressed the "You have been logged on using cached information" message by default. However, I am running Windows 2000 Pro with SP3 and the message is displayed. I have tried the registry tweaks to turn it off, but it still displays.

With one of the service packs, does Win 2000 Pro now display the message by default?

Does anyone know how to suppress it?
 
I seem to remember that I got this with PC running NT4 Workstation which was tied to a NT4 Server primary domain controller for its security settings. When I reinstalled NT Server, the Security ID for NT Workstation was effectively lost and so it did what your Win2000 system is now doing.

It was a frightful fiddle to persuade NT Workstation to tie itself in to the new server stored SID. The process was so tortuous that I cannot remember how I did it but I know I did succeed, eventually.

Is your Win2000 machine part of a NT/Win2000 server controlled domain? You don't say but I imagine that it is. I believe you are using a cached SID stored locally on the workstation which is used when the server stored SID is lost/corrupted.
