Windows Server 12 R after DNS set up

AI Thread Summary
After installing Windows Server 2012 R and creating a DNS/forest, the ability to log in with local administrator accounts, such as MYWIN\Administrator, is lost once the server is promoted to a Domain Controller (DC). This is due to the transition from the local Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database to a domain database, which does not recognize local user accounts. Therefore, users must log in using domain credentials, such as ABC\Administrator, as local logins are no longer permitted on a DC. This behavior is standard for domain controllers.

After I installed a fresh windows server 2012R, I could log in with administrator account, e.g MYWIN\Administrator (MYWIN is my computer name). Then I created a DNS/forest e.g ABC.com , I then could log in with ABC\Administrator.
For some reason I now sign out and would want to log in with MYWIN\Administrator, but the system says that my password is incorrect (I do enter "MYWIN\Administrator" in username textbox).
 
Hey Silicon,
By default, as soon as a system is defined as a Domain Controller (DC), you are no longer allowed to log into it locally. Local windows user accounts are stored within the SAM database. When a computer is promoted to a DC, this is replaced with a domain database. So when you provide your local admin credentials, there's nothing for it to check against.

This is normal behaviour for a DC. You must always login with authorised domain credentials.

Cheers
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
