This is probably a really stupid question, but..
How exactly does one set up the classic Windows login system? Where a user can login to any computer on the network by typing in their username and password into the classic Windows login box? I mean Windows XP here.

Go to Control Panel|User Accounts. The third option is "Change the way users log on and off. Uncheck the Use the Welcome screen box.
That'll do it.

Yes, but will this allow, say, a user account made on networked computer #1 to login from networked computer #2?

are your computers on a domain or a workgroup?

Well... some computers have XP Home installed, which means they can't join a Domain. So just a workgroup.

to my knowledge, this can't be done with a workgroup cuz a workgroup is like a P2P style. I'll keep looking and post any info that i can find.

So you're basically saying if these computers all joined the same domain, any user account could log in from any computer?

no, if they were on a domain, u would have to set up accounts on the server, and only those accounts would be able to login.

Which means I'd actually have to be running Windows Server 2003 on a server box?

XP Pro can act as a peer in a domain, Home can't.

a Windows service. The application is essentially a File Watcher that should
run the process when a file is dropped into a specific directory.

Hello,
I am having trouble using Integrated Windows Authentication between our
intranet server and our database server, both of which are on our local
domain.
Windows authentication works for our intranet server - my domain user
"DOM\nme" is correctly authenticated and authorized to view the ASP.NET page
on our intranet. The ASP.NET application uses impersonation (<identity
impersonate="true"> in Web.config).

I can however view other ASP.NET 1.1 sites on my local Windows XP machine.

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we have to develop a custom Login Page which
will accept user's NT credentials ( Username , password, domain name).
This then needs to be passed to a website which uses Windows Authentication
Now my question is how do we pass these credentials to IIS in classic ASP?
Would appreciate any help/pointers on this.
Thanks in advance.
