[QUOTE="walmartconnect, post: 272635, member: 21669"] I agree that all computers associate with a network automatically. All computers do not immediately associate with domain controllers (at least, not on the windows side which is the only o/s i can say i have advanced knowledge in). On our network it isn't even necessary to be a part of the domain. None of the students' personal computers on campus are part of the domain, we generally only associate computers to it if they are faculty/staff/work study machines. The log does clearly state that a computer with the name "Lappy486" (my machine) attempted (and failed) to log into the domain with the username "Guest". Our domain doesn't allow that user to log on, so it naturally kicked it back and logged the failure. As far as I know I did not initiate any of this. [/QUOTE]
