We understand error message is coming because of Windows security restrictions, But login is successful using 'login -p tioadmin' only its throwing error message in event viewer in one of our customer environment.It also not impacting any functionality. For all other environment, we are just getting information message : The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( login ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: login: ROOT LOGIN ON console. So, We are trying to understand what causing below mentioned error message to populate in our customer environment and if there is any other way to remove it without using sshd services. Error message :unable to obtain user info for tioadmin (tried domain controller MZ-FW-DC-004 and localhost) Thanks Vinay On Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 1:37 PM, Vinay Kumar wrote: > > Hello Cygwin Team, > > We are having two user in Windows 2003 environment : Administrator and > tioadmin.
