A little more info on this. Everything I can find says that Windows believes the computer password is out of sync. It tries to use the password and fails. Adding and removing the computer from the domain (including deleting the account in FDS) does not help. Add the computer, reboot, try and login, no dice. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here?

Did you add/change the following registry key on the XP machine : <signorseal.reg> REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters] "requiresignorseal"=dword:00000001 "signsecurechannel"=dword:00000001 </signorseal.reg> Regards, J. -- Jérôme Fenal - jfenal AT <a href="http://gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">gmail.com</a> - <a href="http://fenal.org/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://fenal.org/</a> <a href="http://Paris.pm" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">Paris.pm</a> - <a href="http://paris.mongueurs.net/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://paris.mongueurs.net/ </a> -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users</a> </blockquote></div> </div></blockquote></div>
