Hi Mazhar,

The user credentials are probably just wrong. Figuring out the right
domain be deceptively easy to get wrong. Use ipconfig /all to verify
the domain you *think* is correct for the user. Look at the domain of
the user in the ACL. I bet $1 your domain is actually wrong in one way
or another.
