Brent:
Great minds think alike... We are thinking of saving all her files that have to be connected thru her profile, blowing it away, and building a new one (NOT with the same username!) to kind of "flush" things out. I was hoping the Brain Trust had something I hadn't thought of or maybe knew of somewhere to look. I'll let this simmer over the weekend and see if anybody else can contribute something that'll make/help me find the problem, IF it's solvable *without* having to re-create the account. It's gonna be messy to have to re-create email and other stuff . "...besides, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it!"

Just attacking this as logically as I can, here. Since I do not know of a utility to check for problems with Kerberos/AD... Though it seems like there should be something out there to do just that.

It was the first thing I looked at, having had experience with RADIUS before. I created a user on the 3000, and it worked fine. BTW, we use the Kerberos/Active Directory authentication. But you knew that...

Could you create a local account for testing? This would bypass any RADIUS/TAC+ problems and confirm the VPN client isn't at fault. Also, Cisco released a new client about a week ago. Don't ask, my laptop is stored for the weekend. Something like 4.88888888881720344-1 or some such. Anyhow, it sounds like a RADIUS problem within the server but check with a local account on the 3000 just to eliminate what should be obvious. Brent Eads Employee Technology Solutions, Inc.

My boss has an IBM Lenovo T60 laptop that has the Cisco VPN client software loaded into it. It was working just fine up until the third week of December, allowing her to use Dialup to get into our HQ domain from her house. When the logins failed, I thought it was due to crappy dialup connection, since noise in the link will cause the VPN tunnel to go down. However, I just got her link at her house to go on wireless, and it works just spiffy (11M up/down), and she still can't log on to the domain with the VPN software. The connection works just fine, she can browse with no problem. OWA works just fine. Here's some of the troubleshooting I've done: 1) reloaded the VPN software. 2) Tried to have her log on from another machine. 3) Changed the Group authentication (made a new one) just for her. Nothing seems to work. She logs in to the domain normally from her desk at work using either the wireless in the laptop, or via the Ethernet connection. Anybody else can use her laptop to get in via the VPN, so it's not the drivers or hardware. Her problem is replicated from ANYBODY's laptop utilizing the VPN software. It's got to be her account, which is why I think it's something screwed up in AD. When I monitor her attempts to log into the VPN concentrator (a Cisco 3000), sometimes it says the IKE isn't working, sometimes it says there's no domain ("domain = {not specified}"), sometimes it never talks to the 3000 at all (according to the log and the way it comes right back with the username/password request). Want to get even more confused? This problem started when she attempted to change her password back to what it was - she went through the AD administration on the primary AD box and got some kind of error. Ever since then, things just ain't the same. I think something got scrambled in her account. We tried disabling her account for 5 minutes and then re-enabling, but nothing's worked. Where should I look to see if something's amiss? I'm kinda stumped.
