Hi Marscha,
Starting today, UltraVNC on all my computers in the Active Directory domain won't accept to authenticate domain accounts which are also local administrators of these computers. The same domain accounts are still indeed administrators of the computers because I can list the contents of the c$ remotely.
Using the local administrator account and password MSLOGON authentication works.
Using a domain account which belongs to a group declared in the MSLOGON configuration also works.
I'm using the "old" MSLOGON, not the new one.
What could explain a so sudden failure ? Friday the 13th ?
I'm not aware of any change in the AD domain.
I'm using various UltraVNC releases ranging from RC20 to RC205.
I'll try the new MSLOGON to see if it work better than the old one.

Weird MSLOGON authentication problem
Weird MSLOGON authentication problem

Thank you for your quick answer.
I've got a problem with the new mslogon, it doesn't work on some hardened computers where I remove everyone from the "Access this computer from the network" right.
I just did the test and the new mslogon works where the old one doesn't.
With old mslogon, on a W2K computer with VNC running aas a service, which auth dll should accept the authentication when using a domain account which is local admin of the computer ?
Nothing changed in the GPO or Local Policies between yesterday and today. Still I'm investigating if something else changed.

Ok I found what was wrong ! The PDC Emulator of the AD domain was in a kind of coma. After reviving it authentications to UltraVNC work again.
So old mslogon relies on PDC Emulator whereas new mslogon doesn't. Wish I could use the new one, it's soooo much faster !!!
Thanks again Marscha and sorry for calling you Mischa (edited my first post), my memory failed me.
