Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone in on something I experienced a few days ago.

One user of mine suddenly found that he couldn't contact the domain controller and his login scripts weren't running.

Turns out that there is a control panel applet under user accounts that can cache passwords..even domain passwords. He cached a blank one resulting in a lot of problems.

If you want, I have posted the whole story at I think you will find the story interesting at the least....
