I have a laptop that is part of a domain at work. When I go home, I
logon fine using the domain credentials. However, I have setup a local
account for my wife to use as a logon. Whenever she logs on to that
local account and then logs off, it will not allow me to logon to my
domain account anymore.

This use to work fine but recently stopped. I have to VPN into work to
let it log me on again.

Any ideas?

Contact your IT department. Sounds like they limited how many times you
can log in with cached credentials.

I am the IT department. ;-)

And I did not change anything. I can logon as many times as I want with
the cached, but if we logon with the local, it stops working.

See http://searchwinit.techtarget.com/ti...968000,00.html

That article talks about how to turn off/on cached credentials.
However, mine are already on. It just seems to lose them after a local
user login.

I did some testing and I was wrong. The only time this happens is
when...

One user logs on, then locks the computer.
Another user then uses their login info to unlock it, thus logging off
the first user.
The secon user then logs on.
After this, the first user can no longer login saying it is an
incorrect username or password. They must reconnect to the domain
before they can login again.

Is this normal? Is this a bug? Anyway to fix it?

Is the account breaking the "lock", a non-domain account? If so I wonder
if that is flushing the domain account out of the cache.

Yes, it is a local account that is "breaking" the lock.

Then unlock with domain account should preserve the cached credentials.
I would think that otherwise you have a security issue?
