Prompted for password?

[shipmate]

I upgraded my file server from NT 4.0 to Win2k with Active directory, then I created a new user account.

I can log in to any machine just fine; but if I browse thru network neiborhood, and get to the file server, I am prompted for a password with any new account.

I can browse to all my other servers, even other win2k servers. But if I click on my file server, I am prompted for a username/password. I can put in any valid domain user, and it opens, and I can browse the file shares.

But it rejects any new user account that I have created since the upgrade; I even enabled the guest account, and it still prompts for a password! (although I can type 'guest' w/the password and it works....)

This happens from all workstations with any newly created account; I tried creating new accounts on an old NT 4.0 bdc and active directory, copying accounts, even giving the new account domain admin rights!

What am I missing??? All the existing accounts are just fine. Help!!

Did you create a new domain when you did this upgrade? That's what it sounds like... are the other machines in your area members of this new domain?

Did the new server replicate with the others in AD? I've seen it when I change a security setting on a person's account, and have them log off and log back on, and not receive the settings. If I replicate the servers, and have them log back on, it works. (Just a thought.) Glen A. Johnson
