Windows Authentication and Zenworks Problem

Question

I have Zenworks 6.5.1.0 on my desktop. I make my computer part of our
win2k3 domain. When I try to connect to sql server through the client
tools using windows authentication the domain name doesn't show up
correctly. It will show up as the computer_name/username instead of
domain/username. This is also a problem for trying to setup applications to
use windows authentication instead of sql server authentication.
If I uninstall zenworks the problem goes away. Nevertheless, this isn't a
solution. I would appreciate any info you can give.

Answer 1

OK, here is what I would do pending more input from you..........
1)Setup IDM (Identity Mgr) to synch all E-Dir IDs into the Domain.
You should have this product for free if you have Maint on ZEN or NetWare)
2)On all PCs in the Domain, push this key to block the use of DLU.
Now every user will be able to use any PC.
If the PC is in the Domain, they will use domain authentication.
If the PC is not in the Domain, they will use DLU to logging automatically.
