Mobile users need remote domain login
My office uses laptops almost exclusively, and we have a domain environment. Currently, all users login using a local account. We want to be able to map their systems to network shares, provide backup automation, etc., via Group Policy or logon scripts, but do not want to have to administer each machine individually. The users travel constantly, and are not guaranteed to be in the office. The mapping only needs to be done when they are. If we set them to use a domain logon, thus providing the mapping and control we need, they have issues logging in when not in the office since there is no DC available. What are my potential solutions?

Yep...follow the post above to see if that is the problem. By default, windows caches the last 10 logons...but this can be changed so it sounds like that may be your problem. If not, let us know and we'll go back to the drawing board...
