Login Failure - workstation coming across as domain in event log 1

[Denda]

I'm getting this error trying to login to a 2003 Server w/SQL server via ODBC test.

Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Logon/Logoff
Event ID: 529
Date: 9/30/2004
Time: 11:39:07 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: TWB-APPS
Description:
Logon Failure:
Reason: Unknown user name or bad password
User Name: USER1
Domain: TWB-PCA
Logon Type: 3
Logon Process: NtLmSsp
Authentication Package: NTLM
Workstation Name: TWB-PCA
Caller User Name: -
Caller Domain: -
Caller Logon ID: -
Caller Process ID: -
Transited Services: -
Source Network Address: -

OK - here's the issue... The workstation is coming across as the domain. TWB-PCA is the workstation, not the domain. The user is a domain user & has no issues logging in at all on a pc. How can I fix this?

OK - I'm posting this for anyone else that may have this issue. I got this working properly by promoting my W3K server to a domain controller. Once I did that, all authentication started jiving via AD. Word to the Wise.. If you do not have any w3k servers that are domain controllers already, you MUST prepare AD for the W3K.

Here's a star for Belynda. AD without DC's don't jive anytime. If you don't have DC's, you've got a standalone network, not Active Directory Integrated. Thanks.

tehre is actually a way around it

but it would be way too hard to manage

that would be local users and groups...but trick would be that ALL computers would have to have teh same users with teh same passwords

tehm pass through authentication would kick in

domain is better route though
