Method for Creating User ID’s In Windows Server 2003 Active Directory

BeachBum518 — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 14:15:34 +0000

We are getting ready to migrate our W2K AD to W2K3. Currently our user ID’s are first initial of the first name the full last name.

We would like to get away from those types of user ID’s and go with something random, easy to manage, want allow duplicates and is not associated with the user’s name. So John Smith might be we5184.

I’m just wondering if others/you have ran into this and care to share what you have done and are doing now. Also are there any applications or tools that you use to help in the process? Your advice and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Bizzare Windows XP Logon problem

Philcrox — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 20:01:18 +0000

Hi,

i hope some one can help me,i have never ever come across anything like this.

I have built some new pcs up within my domain, just recently i have joined them to my network and changed the local computer names as i ghosted them accross, now when i rebooted the machines and gets to the classic logon screen. under my domain name is the old local computer name, now when i log in and right click “my computer” and propeties, my new computer name is in there.

i also goto the server and look in active directory and the new computer name is there to. to some people this might not be much of a problem but within our school we run “sophos” protection and because they all have the same old computer name sophos is treating them as 1 pc!

does any one know what to do as ive tried even looking through regedit and no mention of my old pc name in there

Hope someone can help me

Many thanks

How can I set up a Windows workstation that is used by many people, who are now using a group logon, to save files to one My Documents folder if they are forced to log on inidividually? I need to be able to track whom does what and when but cannot do it with group logon and the Program Manager wants everyone to use one folder for all files. Thanks.

Windows Logon

Owolab — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:02:07 +0000

One of our users came in this morning . Tried to logon but received the following error message:
“current time on this computer and the current time on the network are different.”

I checked the time on our server and it was thesame. this is only happening on one users out 65 users on our domain.

Is there a fix to my predicament? If I logon as other user, it will work fine.

please assist!

Thanks a bunch!

My husband found a computer in the trash after a store closed. He brought it home I connected it and of course it requires a user name and pw. Obviously it works, but how do I clear that window so that I can work on the computer? Does any one know?
