BTW that's \\Documents and Settings\\YourID\\* For some reason W2K puts Temporary Internet Files in your Profile. Also, you aren't storing data directly on your Desktop, are you? And if you use OE, you have moved where it stores its files to outside your Profile, aren't you? qts

I thought there must be such a list - and the blkviper one especially, is pitched to the LCD nicely. Gawd - #12.. Beast-defaults: Come And Get me cha cha cha The others noted for future SYAs.

The timeout period is LONG for a failed directory login - then you drop to the standard "compatibility mode" Lanman login. If you are properly authenticating, it will happen fast. Is your 2k server set up in native or compatibility mode? -drl
Post #106,112 by pwhysall 6/14/03 4:02:08 AM Reply	Naw. Cert errors are harmless - they just mean there's no CA on your network. With Windows 2000 domain controllers there isn't more than one method of logging in - it's all done via Kerberos. No Kerberos ticket, no login. NT workstations have this process shielded from them, but it boils down to the same thing. Certificates are not used in the Windows 2000 authentication process. The only real practical differences between native and compatibility mode for the domain is that in native mode you get universal groups and can nest global groups.
