Paul,

Do you remember the details of the first posting you mentioned? I think
I've seen this on my test Win 2K server. I changed its name from the
default that the install gave it, and I cant seem to get rid of the IUSR &
IWAM accounts with the old name.

Just wondering if this is the same thing you brought up...

Thanks,
Jen

Hi

I remember a recent odd posting regarding renaming 2000 user accounts and
then being able to log in using either name

I found another oddity, this time with passwords.....

Running 2000 Active Directory with mixed 2000 Pro and MAC clients, password
expiry is enforced.

When a 2000 client changes the password all works exactly as expected
When a MAC client changes the password all appears to work as expected,
except that the client can then use either the old or the new password to
login

This "dual password" works from either a MAC or 2000 client, (if a 2000
client changes a password you only get one password)

Anyone seen this ?

There is only one domain controller for this domain.

Any thoughts ?
