strange behaviour of domain server
In our company we use the following system (I'm not a network expert):

    Domain.local ----> Desktop PC 1
                 ----> Desktop PC 2
                 ----> ...
                 ----> Desktop PC n

                 ----> some Notebooks

I'm also a notebook user. Also for remote purposes. So when I do homeoffice I connect via VPN (Astaro VPN client) to our domain server. But locally there doesn't exist a domain account. Just my local, standard Windows account. The local desktop PC's, though, use domain accounts, **only**.

But now everybody must use a local IIS Server, instead of the default VS2010 Development Server, to run the application. This caused strange behaviour of our software. Every notebook user, needed to login the software, everytime he started the software. That worked via Windows authentification of the IIS. So I tried to fix this with creating a domain account. And it worked. But why? I don't actually login to my new domain account. I login to my local account and the strange behaviour is gone, still. Could somebody explain me this complete change of the user administration? I'm just confused.

*edit:* **AND** when I try to change my local password, I get an error which says that the new password doesn't match the requirements of the domain server. What the...? I seem to be a rookie depending on domain server stuff. I'm glad about every help I get.
