Vista Business laptop loses mapped network drive and locks out user account on NT 4.0 Server PDC
OK, my network still uses a Windows NT 4.0 Server PDC. I have user running a laptop with Vista Business and here is what is happening:
* I have a mapped drive on the network
* When Vista user signs in, the map drive is unavailable
Upon closer inspection, the user's account on the PDC shows up as being locked out.
The passwords on both the laptop and the PDC match so I'm not sure what's up.
Only workaround right now is to manually map the drive using the Administrator ID and password.
Any help? Is Vista OK with NT 4.0 Server PDC machines?
Thanks!
