Windows 10: Windows 10 - Join Domain - Domain user logs in and reverts back to the log in screen

This has been happening for over a year. Not every installed new PC, just many time. Newer Win10 builds have not corrected it. We have a Dell Optiplex, Win10 installed. We complete the initial set up, patch etc., then join the domain.


After joining the doamin, I go to log in on the PC as the domain admin, and it never gives the "HI" waiting/installing, it just goes back to the login screen. Happens over and over. I usually delete the new user account, then copy the users\default user folder from another working PC with the same version (in this case 1809) over the one on the PC having the issue, and try the log in again. Many times this works.


When I go to delete the user domain\administrator account, the delete button is grayed out. Also there s no C:\users\Administrator.domain account folder there to delete.


So much time wasted trying to get Windows 10 to work!

Windows 10 joins AD domain, but only logs into pre-existed accounts


Hello all

My client has 40 PCs and Windows Server 2012 with active directory users and domain.

Windows 7 PCs join domain and logs all domain users into the PC, but I have to include these registry keys prior joining the server.
DNSNameResolutionRequired
DomainCompatibilityMode

Windows 10 PC can join the domain but only users who have signed into the PC before can use it.
So its virtually impossible for any domain users to log in if the PC was pre-installed with Windows 10. but if its upgraded from windows 7 (With domain connected), then you can only login as those who previously logged into it!
others will get this message: "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request".

This has nothing to do with the server, right? is it something to with the registry entries? something to with profile parameters?

Ideas WILL help the human race...

NOTE: in the screenshot, you can see users logged in from windows 7 prior Windows 10 installation, these users CAN login, but for example jerrard.blacksmith cannot log in while he's in the AD, but NOT in the Users folder as he never logged into that PC.

Thanks all

 

User Name or Password Incorrect When Trying to Log In as Domain User

I've tried searching repeatedly for an answer to this problem but I seem to be getting nowhere.

My client purchased a desktop PC with Windows 10 Home edition installed. I upgraded the machine to Windows 10 Pro. I added a Microsoft account to the machine.

I logged in using this account and added the machine to the domain (Windows Server 8). When prompted to enter a domain user account, I used my Administrator account. The machine was added fine. I can see it in the list of devices on the server.

Now when I try to log in to the machine as a domain user or the domain administrator, I get an error. Here are my steps at the login screen:

1. Click on Other user (Note that "Sign in to: <DOMAIN>" is displayed)

2. Enter user name (I've also tried DOMAIN\User and *** Email address is removed for privacy ***)

3. Enter password.

4. Click on arrow.

5. Message displayed is "The user name or password is incorrect. Try again."

I've tried multiple domain accounts and verified their passwords. It seems that only the local/Microsoft account will let me into the PC.

 

Join domain option missing

You need to be logged on as a local administrator

Contact the domain administrator for specifics

Join a Windows 10 PC or Device to a Domain. On the Windows 10 PC go to then click Join a domain. Enter the Domain name and click Next. You should have the correct domain info, but if not, contact your Network Administrator. Enter account
information which is used to authenticate on the Domain then click OK.
