The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

"Login Failure: The target account name is incorrect."  when accessing server from within Active Dir.

Asked by dsbahr in Operating Systems Miscellaneous, Active Directory

Tags: account, name, target, incorrect

I have a multi-site network with Active Directory to provide globel security and access between corporate and 7 branch locations.  Yesterday some users in one of the branch locations were no longer able to access the server at the corp office (but could locally).  They could browse the local network, and the corporate network, and access all other servers, clients, etc. EXCEPT one server - which is of course the primary server at the corp location.  

This same symptom has now spread and appears to have replicated to all branch offices.

Other items to consider:
This is not limited to a user account - even the Domain\Administrator account can not connect from the branch to the corp server.
BUT - all accounts/PC's at the corporate office are not affected - i.e. they can access all resources corp wide.
BROWSER based only (it seems) as I can specify the ip address in place of the share name, and everything connects just fine. (example:  \\server\share  will not work but  \\xx.xx.xx.xx\share will work).

I feel certain this has to deal with Active Dir and trust or replication - but do not know of anything that changed in the last week+.

Any insight is, of course, greatly appreciated.
