2008 R2 active directory - wrong user name or password on some users
Hi,
I have 2008 R2 active directory environment with one physical DC and VMware virtual backup domain.
I got wrong user name or password on some users including the administrator when trying to log on to the DC\servers\workstation.
After reinstall the 2 DC's the system worked for a few days and I got the same problem: users got wrong username and password while trying to log on.
Active Directory
Windows Server 2008

Check workstations and DC´s time. Differences more than 10 minutes would make users can´t logon.

If multilanguage environment, keyboard layout could confuse password entries.
Does this problem persists when you reset the password to some simple one like: passworD1234
?
