Validating the User Name

The installation process uses the Windows authentication services to authenticate that the user name and password entered to run the Smarteam services is correct. If a wrong domain name is entered prefixing the username (e.g., 'smart\joef') AND the domain name is wrong (e.g., 'smartt\joef') AND the local computer contains a user with that name and the same password as the domain user, then the user authentication will check positive, even though the local user might not have sufficient privileges to run the services.

Note: Different hotfix packages are available for Windows 2000 and for Windows 2003. Make sure that you download the correct hotfix.
