On-Site Computer Services

Ran into an odd problem today. New computer just configured and joined into the office's NT domain. Each logon screen had the customary button to log in as another user than the last. Last night, the machine was all up to date.

This morning, was notified that a new Microsoft update was available. Ran the update, which triggered a restart. When the computer was booted up to the logon, the button to select a different user was gone. Tried two recommendations from the Microsoft "Community" (at least one of them a Microsoft tech who supplied the "Solution" but neither worked.

Further diagnostics revealed that the computer had reverted to no longer be a member of the office's NT domain, only the local/workgroup domain.

In response, joined the computer back into the office's NT domain and the problem was truly solved. A little curious.
