Windows 10: CAN’T login to user domain after windows update

Hi,I did a windows update several days ago. It was an “update and restart”. Since then, I have not been able to login to use my laptop. I keep getting a message that the password is incorrect, but I’m positive that it’s correct. Sometimes I even get the “welcome” message with the dots, but shortly after I get the password incorrect message. I’ve tried all the things the Internet has said…1 Safemode didn’t work2 Tried uninstalling the update, but I can’t carry out that action unless I enter the password makes no sense3 can’t do any other resets for the same reason as above enter password

:)

 

Raising the windows domain and forest issues?


hi,

I run a domain that was all 2003 r2 servers. I recently upgraded all my domain controllers to windows 2012 r2.
That went off without any problems.. Our trust relationships had no issues also.

My first step was to raise the Domain and Forest levels past 2003 to 2008. This went off without a hitch.
These are the features for raising the levels to 2008:

• Features and benefits include all default Active Directory features, all features from the Windows Server 2003 domain functional level, plus:
• Read-Only Domain Controllers – Allows implementation of domain controllers that only host read-only copy of NTDS database.
• Advanced Encryption Services – (AES 128 and 256) support for the Kerberos protocol.
• Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) – Allows SYSVOL to replicate using DFSR instead of older File Replication Service (FRS). It provides more robust and detailed replication of SYSVOL contents.

Forest Level Windows Server 2008

• Features and benefits include all of the features that are available at the Windows Server 2003 forest functional level, but no additional features. All domains that are subsequently added to the forest will operate at the Windows Server 2008 domain functional level by default.

My next step is to raise the domain and forest to 2008 r2, then 2012, and finally 2012 r2. I have been trying to find out exactly what I could expect from raising the Domain and Forest for each step.

The step involving 2008 r2 seems relatively a non issue. But getting the couple of new features seem very nice

Domain Level Windows Server 2008 R2

• All default Active Directory features, all features from the Windows Server 2008 domain functional level, plus 2 new features

Forest Level Windows Server 2008 R2

• All of the features that are available at the Windows Server 2003 forest functional level, plus the following features:

• Active Directory Recycle Bin, which provides the ability to restore deleted objects in their entirety while AD DS is running. <== New Feature very cool
• All domains subsequently added to the forest will operate at the Windows Server 2008 R2 domain functional level by default.

Here is my big concerns for the next raising of domain and forest to 2012.

Forest Level Windows Server 2012:

• All of the features that are available at the Windows Server 2008 R2 forest functional level, but no additional features.
• All domains subsequently added to the forest will operate at the Windows Server 2012 domain functional level by default.

Domain Level Windows Server 2012 R2: <=====Need to investigate more and why this post

• DC-side protections for Protected Users. Protected Users authenticating to a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain can no longer:

• Authenticate with NTLM authentication <==============(what issues may arise)
• Use DES or RC4 cipher suites in Kerberos pre-authentication
• Be delegated with unconstrained or constrained delegation
• Renew user tickets (TGTs) beyond the initial 4-hour lifetime

Will this affect my exchange anywhere users with remote access authenticating either clear of NTLM???
and what would/may not to work properly day 1 when I raise the domain and forest to 2012. I cant really find anyone that can answer a straight question.

Has anyone gone through this? what problems did you have, if any , if a lot???

Any thoughts and suggestions will be much appreciated??

thanks

Windows 11 22H2 update: cannot Switch User at login and cannot see Domain user, only local users

Hi,

I have two user accounts on my laptop; DOMAIN\first.last and localhost\name and could access both fine on Windows 11. After updating to 22H2 I can only see the locahost user and no longer have the Switch User function at the login page like I normally do. The local user doesn't have admin privileges and the domain admin doesn't allow concurrent logins, which means I can't 'switch user' from a current login but instead I have to log out of the localhost user in order to log into the Domain user. I also can't run any of the suggested RegEdit fixes because I don't have admin privileges.

Not sure how to proceed. I don't want to call IT Support 'cause I wasn't supposed to load Windows 11 on the work laptop LOL

Help please!
