So… what about it…
A ”client” has a swedish name … called ”åsa”…
The user got a 2008r2 domain account called just that ”åsa”.
Logon to her laptop with asa works perfectly when the wirless network is running… password works perfect….
But… if the domain controller is of… or wirless network is down… cached credentials dosnt work at all.
Causes a ”No domain controler is available” issue….
HOW ???
Now i know…
The nice windows knows that ”asa” is probably ”åsa” and translatesit and loggs in as åsa…
”åsa” account is cached…
”asa” isnt…
Switching it back to ”åsa” the cashed credentials now works again…
THANX windows for beeing nice !
We have a slogan for this behaviour in swedish ”Ful lösning!”
