Windows 10 Local user Command prompt Windows Security credentials with the same name Domain user

To address the issue you're experiencing with conflicting user credentials when connecting to a server, particularly when the local user has the same name as the domain user, here are some recommendations to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem: 1. Clear Windows Credentials: - Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager. Check if there are any saved credentials for the server you are trying to access and remove them. This can help ensure the correct credentials are used. 2. User Rights: - Verify the user rights and permissions for the local user and domain user. Local users might not have the necessary permissions to access domain resources. 3. Network Connection: - Ensure that the network and DNS settings are correctly configured. Improper DNS settings can sometimes lead to credential conflicts. 4. Use Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN): - When connecting to network resources, try using the fully-qualified domain name of the server (e.g., \\Server.domain.com) instead of just the server name. 5. Check Group Policy Settings: - Review Group Policy settings related to network authentication and login restrictions. Look for any policies that might be causing conflicts. 6. Local vs. Domain User: - Be aware of which user context you are using when accessing network resources. Logging in with local user credentials will not provide access to domain resources. 7. Test with Different Credentials: - Try connecting to the server using explicitly different credentials (domain\username) that match the domain user to avoid any conflicts with the local user account. 8. Check Event Viewer: - Look at the Windows Event Viewer logs for any authentication failures or errors that might provide more specific information on the issue. By following these steps, you can investigate and potentially resolve the issue of conflicting user credentials when accessing network resources with a local user account that shares the same name as the domain user.
