I recently upgraded my workstation from XP SP3 to Win 7 x64 SP1. I use MMC to connect to 3 different domains (2 are running 2008 and the third is running 2003) that I manage in the office. After changing to Win 7, I can no longer connect to AD users and computers for one of the domains. I am still able to connect to the 2K8 domains, but the one that I'm having an issue with is a server 2003 DC. When attempting to connect to the 2003 DC using AD users and computers, I get an error message stating:
"The domain example.com could not be found because:
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."
This started happening after upgrading my OS from XP to Win 7 and I have not been able to connect to the 2003 domain since the upgrade. I have been using RDP to connect to another XP box that I have and I am able to connect to AD users and computers without
any issues on the XP machine. I am trying to figure out what needs to be done in order for me to be able to connect to the 2003 domain from my Win 7 workstation. I know my account is good since I am able to connect to all 3 domains when using XP,
but I can only connect to the 2008 domains (using AD U&C) from my Win 7 workstation.
I found a forum post on tomshardware.com to change a setting in the local security policy (www.tomshardware.com/forum/10828-63-cannot-access-domain-controller#9602624) but that did not resolve my issue. I hope someone else has run into this issue and
has a resolution because it is very inconvenient for me to have to remote into another workstation so I can connect to AD U&C instead of just using the Win 7 workstation to manage all 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you have any other questions or comments please let me know and I will answer them as best I can.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
