Windows 8 Enterprise requests credentials again after logon
OK, first things first, my PC worked perfectly with Windows 7, my problem has only appeared since I upgraded to Windows 8 yesterday.
The setup:-
SBS 2008 Domain called "PRODUCTION" - I am a domain admin on this domain.
My Windows 8 Enterprise PC was upgraded from Windows 7 Enterprise and is joined to this domain. Domain is on the 172.16.0.x/16 range
WINDOWS 2008R2 Domain called "DEVELOPMENT" - runs it's own DNS (but not DHCP) and is on the 172.16.2.x/16 range. I am also an admin on this domain. The DNS has a forwarder to the SBS server on the PRODUCTION domain.
I have the same user name and password on both domains, and my PC can communicate with both domains.
SBS 2008 provides the DHCP setup, and obviously hosts it's own DNS.
HOWEVER - on MY PC only, I have my IP, SM and DG being assigned by the DHCP server, BUT I have manually set my DNS to the IP of the DC on the DEVELOPMENT domain.
My problem is this. I boot my PC. I press CTRL-ALT-DEL to logon. Once I get to my desktop, some of my icons are missing (that point to programs on network shares on the) and my two mapped drives to the SBS server on the PRODUCTION domain are shown as disconnected.
Internet Explorer opens to http://companyweb and immediately asks me for my credentials. I enter my credentials, tell the dialog box to remember those credentials. I can then refresh the IE screen and see the companyweb, and I can then double click on either of the disconnected mapped drives to see the contents, and can refresh my desktop and see the missing icons.
I am 99% sure that this is to do with the fact that I have manually assigned my Primary DNS as the DC on the DEVELOPMENT domain, but I have reasons for doing so, and I don't want to change this configuration.
Obviously, I can live with entering my credentials again after logon each day, but I would prefer not to. So if anyone knows of a way to overcome this, I would be one happy chappy.
Thanks.

http://companyweb is on the PRODUCTION SBS server. The only thing I'm doing, is pointing my PC to the DNS on the DC of the DEVELOPMENT domain which in turn forwards to the PRODUCTION DNS
so you have two separate domains don't you
ASKER
Yes - two domains. PC joined to the "PRODUCTION" domain, but uses the DC on the "DEVELOPMENT" domain purely for DNS resolution.
so the client has dns set as the dc for dev yes
ASKER
Yes - and the DNS Server on the Development DC has a forwarder set up which points to SBS on the Production domain.
It worked perfectly with Windows 7 (a colleague still has this same setup), but as soon as I upgraded to Windows 8, this problem has occurred.

so it suggest windows 8 does it differently than windows 7
i was installing a windows 8 laptop the other day and had similar issues couldn't get thunderbird working even with the correct settings

ok found out what it kind of relates too in windows 8 it uses ipv6 which needs to be disabled it also says using googles public dns works so try 8.8.8.8 for dns
windows 8 network is intermittent in terms of dns

I'm sceptical because Windows 7 also uses IPv6. Plus, if I set my DNS to Google's, then how will I ever resolve internal domain names?
try
C:\> netsh int ip reset reset.log
followed by
C:\> netsh winsock reset catalog
restart the machine
and
Which DNS do you use? From your iSP? Try the google DNS servers (IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4):
DNS settings are specified in the TCP/IP Properties window for the selected network connection.
Example: Changing DNS server settings on Microsoft Windows 7
Go the Control Panel.
Click Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Center, and click Change adapter settings.
Select the connection for which you want to configure Google Public DNS. For example:
To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, right-click Local Area Connection, and click Properties.
To change the settings for a wireless connection, right-click Wireless Network Connection, and click Properties.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Select the Networking tab. Under This connection uses the following items, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then click Properties.
Click Advanced and select the DNS tab. If there are any DNS server IP addresses listed there, write them down for future reference, and remove them from this window.
Click OK.
Select Use the following DNS server addresses. If there are any IP addresses listed in the Preferred DNS server or Alternate DNS server, write them down for future reference.
Replace those addresses with the IP addresses of the Google DNS servers:
For IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4.
For IPv6: 2001:4860:4860::8888 and/or 2001:4860:4860::8844
Restart the connection you selected in step 3.
Test that your setup is working correctly; see Testing your new settings below.
Repeat the procedure for additional network connections you want to change.

I think this post is getting a bit side tracked. My problem is not that DNS doesn't work - it does. My problem relates to being asked to specify credentials again after logging on to the domain. I only have to do this once after logging on, then everything is OK until I reboot again.
The only abnormality is that my DNS settings point to an internal server on a development domain rather than to the DNS server on SBS of the production domain.
Changing any DNS settings to an external ISP is not going to resolve my issue.

It's not really a solution as such, but after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8, if encountering any problems, my advice would be a full shutdown and power up rather than a restart.
there is no trust setup is there you are going to get this unfortunately
