<font face="Tahoma">Hi<br>
<br>
I'm really sorry, but it seems like this is just completely my own
fault. <br>
Apparently MS-Windows works around this issue by preventing people
from creating accounts with the same name as the machine. <br>
When I installed this machine and ran into that, I assumed it was
a bug and found a way to force windows to make my machine name the
same as my account name.<br>
<br>
So I've been wasting your time - sorry about time. I'll rename my
machine and that should make this problem go away.<br>
<br>
Regards, Noel.<br>

Under this situation, the LookupAccountName API call will return the wrong

Well, "wrong" or "right" is a matter of opinion here, I guess... The documentation doesn't exactly mention this for LookupAccountName(),, true, but on the other hand, I guess that in general member computers also are "accounts" in the domain, or something, so it makes sense from that point of view...
Anyway, great catch!
Does this help?
