I've never seen this before. &nbsp;An employee left a company so we disabled his account. &nbsp;The next day or so I get a call saying a different user else can't log in. &nbsp;After some checking I find out that if I eneable the ex-employees account the current employee can log in with her account. &nbsp;Once the old account is disabled, the current account is also disabled. &nbsp;I've tried changing passwords on both accounts, but the problem persisists. &nbsp;All servers are running Windows 2003 Standard, the domain is in native mode. &nbsp;Any ideas?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
