I thought that I was able to contact the domain controller, since I was able to change my domain password successfully and do other sorts of things that required me to login. However, apparently this was something other than the PDC or BDC. Or at least I was in a situation where I wasn't "trusted" enough to contact them via mkpasswd. Thinking it was the latter, I even tried hacking mkpasswd to use the appropriate Active Directory calls, to no avail. But today, after finding someone that could use mkpasswd, I simply copied his WINS settings and now it works for me, too. Doh! Thanks for the help, -Jerry Williams P.S. I don't know if anyone's interested in this, but here's my previous Python script updated to provide more correct results: ----- #!/usr/bin/echo THIS_IS_ONLY_FOR_WINDOWS_PYTHON from _winreg import * from os import environ class User: def __init__(self,masterkey,sid): self.sid = sid userkey = OpenKey(masterkey,sid) self.data = {} for valueno in range(QueryInfoKey(userkey)[1]): (name,data,type) = EnumValue(userkey,valueno) self.data[name] = data userkey.Close() profilePath = self.data['ProfileImagePath'].split("%") for i in range(1,len(profilePath),2): profilePath[i] = environ[profilePath[i]] self.profilePath = "".join(profilePath) users = [] masterkey = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\ProfileList") for userno in range(QueryInfoKey(masterkey)[0]): users.append(User(masterkey,EnumKey(masterkey,userno))) masterkey.Close() profilePath = environ["USERPROFILE"] userName = environ["USERNAME"] userDomain = environ["USERDOMAIN"] # Offset of 10000 is for domain users.
