Local Login

[ChrisTaylor]

Hey I'm relatively new to server 2008. Basically I have set up a domain controller with active directory and as a DNS and iv set up a new domain.

To start I had the admin account and a user account. Now I find I can log onto the domain as both the administrator and the user account previously on the local computer. But when I type .\chris or .\administrator it won't let me log back onto the local computer. Can somebody explain this for me please??

Thanks

The computer is on domain? Joined?

Check first if you are on the domain or joined@ ICTCity advice. Sample Scenario below:

Domain Name: DLTC
Computer Name: PC (local account) You must remember this before you join the domain.
User Name: DAN

If you want to Joined to the domain: Logged in as: DLTC\DAN

Local Only: Logged in as: PC\DAN or PC\Administrator

or the hardest possible solution, remove the default password of local administrator using offline NT password & registry editor. Then you can log-in as locally without password.

I hope It could help you...
