WinSuite local logon.

[mrwobbly]

I have two machines on the domain which nobody can logon to. They return an error that the domain is unavailable. I can logon as admin on other computers in the suite but that just logs me onto the domain.

The NIC lights are flashing and I know it not to be a network traffic problem.

How can I logon locally to the machine to investigate what’s wrong

Thanks for any input.

start up with the network cable unplugged.

put in a dummy username, EG: 'billgates'

Winsuite will complain a little and then prompt you with a logon box again and if you look you will see a checkbox labled 'log in as local administrator'.

Check it, put in the local admin un/pw and your in

Thank you.

I knew there must have been a way.

Your help is very much appreciated.

There was a shortcut something like alt +w or clicking on the w of winsuite that would allow yuo to as well.

Thats to bypass the winsuite screen manager, if it detects a network it won't let you log on locally
