Re: [ActiveDir] Cached Credentials

[Matjaz Ladava]

Caching credentials happen, when you can not contact DC during logon process. If that happens then your GPO's wont be applied, login scripts won't run. That doesn't necessary mean that you won't be able to access the network, as if only DC are not available, and name-resolution is working, then you could be able to access some network resources. Again this depends if this resources need authentication or not. You always have possibility to turn off cached credentials if you need for security purposes.   Regards   Matjaz Ladava ----- Original Message ----- From: Santhosh Sivarajan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 8:20 PM Subject: [ActiveDir] Cached Credentials Hi there,   I am trying to explain to a client the difference on the network between using Cached Credentials and Domain Credentials . I know a few things about group policy updates, such as password expiration notice, when using Cached  Credentials.    What else, other than Group policy updates,   won�t happen when using Cached  Credentials?     I couldn�t find a good explanation or any technical documentation on this.        Can anyone  give me a good technical explanation?   Thanks, Santhosh
