Chalito Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hey guys just had a quick question. I was trying to figure out why this computer on our network wasn't allowing anyone to log in. So I decided to check AD and I found this: I don't know what that little arrow pointed down means. Anyone have a clue? I haven't seen that before. When I log in as the local administrator I'm able to get onto the internet and such so I know that the Ethernet cable/nic card are working fine. I tried to Google it but for some reason it's a lot harder to search for a arrow icon on top of an Icon in AD. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I believe it means 'Disabled' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalito Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hmm, thanks. I wonder if that means the trust relationship between the computer and the domain had gone sour somehow. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRGRIM Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 A red circle with a X inside means disabled (just went and did it now) Your computer icons look tottally different to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiyed14 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 A red circle with a X inside means disabled (just went and did it now) Your computer icons look tottally different to mine. are you using vista/server 2008? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalito Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Forgot to mention that I'm using server 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miT Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 are you using vista/server 2008? I was just wondering the same thing. I run a rather large forest of 2003 domain controllers and have never seen the icons look that clean before, lol. Maybe there's a market for a themed icon pack for active directory? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalito Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yea server 2008 looks much nicer while at the same time keeping everything looking familiar enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The 'down arrow' 'sub-icon' (as in subscript and superscript) is indeed the Vista/7/2008 icon for disabled, it replaced the red cross icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalito Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Well thanks to you helpful folk I was able to fix the issues. The trust relationship between the computer and the domain crapped out. I'm not sure why it crapped out but I just removed the computer and re added it. Thanks for all the help fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't you have just reset the SAM on the computer account in AD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalito Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Yea but I was running back and fourth so when the thought to rejoin the computer hit me I was at the desktop so I just did it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
