The username or password is incorrect

[Decimalpoint12]

Hello,

I am connecting to Windows Server 2008 R2 from Linux desktop.

I’ve set up the NoMachine service on W2008R2 and I can connect and authenticate using the Administrator username and password (I did not configure this for use with NoMachine but it just seemed to work without any configuration).

I get to the Windows Server 2008 R2 login screen.  After clicking on Administrator and entering the same administrator password, the message appears “The username or password is incorrect”.

The corresponding entry in the system log (Event Viewer Security Log) is the below.

Quite frustrating really since I can connect but cannot login.

I even tried creating a new user with nxserver –useradd nxtest01 –system –trusted but still have the same problem.

Any help?  Thank you

You were able to connect to the server via NoMachine so it looks that is system problem. Are you sure that username and password is okay? Did you try to log physically with those credentials and it works? Maybe you need log to the system  with format: <domain>\<username>
