out so other way of configuring it within the framework you are
using for Windows account management.


How does AD do this then, Windows RPCs or what if it doesn't use kerberos or LDAP for this?

The Windows client workstation is joined to a DOMAIN. It shares a secret with the Domain Controllers. When the machine boots it looks
for the Domain Controllers and does machine startup things.

When a user logs in with the name DOMAIN\user, it goes to the domain
and obtains the account info.

When a user logs in with the name [EMAIL PROTECTED], it goes to the domain
to see if this name is mapped to a Domain account.

It does this via RPCs.
