Issue with Network Credential Windows Security

Question

Hello,

I am having a hard time of connecting to the server on our network. All permissions are granted to everyone on our network as long as they are hard wired onto an ethernet plug. I have tried deleting my Windows credentials from Credential Manager and I have tried disabling the shared passwords within the Windows settings for Networks and sharing center. I have blanked out my email address that it wants me to use. Whenever I choose my email address with the pin I created for the Windows Security, it tells me that my username or password is incorrect when it is clearly correct as I just changed it. Any ideas on what I can do to gain access to this server? Everyone else can gain access but not I.

Hello @Anonymous

On the problematic client, check if any related GP has been applied
Computer Configuration \ Windows Settings \ Security Settings \ Local Policies \ Security Options

Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication and see if it is disabled.

Alternatively, you can remove credentials authenticated on:

Control Panel \ User Accounts \ Credential Manager. Select the name and remove it.

Then add that credential back into Credential Manager.

Also check that user's rights for access.
