What you are seeing is "Cached Logon Credentials" and is completely
normal. There is a way to set a limit (through GPO) of how many of the
last users to cache, and how long they should be good for.
As to getting this guy back on... Have him log on as a local admin or
Power User, create a VPN connection (for all users), and then choose
"Log on over a dial up connection" checkbox on the ctrl-alt-delete
screen and select the VPN... it will take him a while to get logged on,
but his credentials will be cached again.

Morning all,
I have what will probably amount to a fairly basic question but
hopefully someone can kindly point me in the right direction.
In our company we have people using laptops who use them in the office
and out on site. Totally normal.
When in the office they log on to the machine using their domain
username and password, and specifying our domain name. Again, totally
normal.
When they are out on site with the same machine they _also_ log on to it
with those same details. Now, I wouldn't expect that to work since the
machine has no way of contacting our domain controller to verify their
credentials. However it does seem to work fine. Is that normal..?
This morning I had a call from one of these laptop users saying that
when trying to login in their usual manner they are getting the message
"Domain OurDomainName is unavailable" or something very similar. This is
what I would have expected really since they are at home and not plugged
into our system here.
So, my questions are:-
Is it normal to be able to login with Domain credentials when not
physically connected to the network?
How can I get this chaps normal domain login to function again without
making him come into the office?
Sorry if this is really basic stuff I should know already, but I'm just
a general dogsbody support lackey.
Rob
