    Thenile,

    Let me make sure I have this correct.

    1. Domain = NT4 SP6a.
    2. Client = W2K SP4

    Scenario 1:

    Client tries to logon to domain.

    1. Successful logon shows in DC's event log
    2. Unsuccessful logon does NOT show in DC's event log.

    Scenario 2.

    Client tries to logon to local workstation.

    1. Successful and Unsuccessful logons show in DC's event log.

    Question 1.

    Does the user account for the local machine and Domain the same User Id?
    (i.e. "user1" is a local account and Domain account)

    Question 2.

    What are the specific Event ID's you are seeing for failure and success.

    Try setting cached logons to 0 on the client and see if we get the same
    results.

    Dave
