I have done this before without any problems, now we are beefing up the password length to more then 15 characters there seems a problem, network printer seems to still work fine. The software claims that credentials summited are wrong, does it mean your software is truncating the password ?, it also said to look note 269175. the error message said configured identity is incorrect. I am running win 2003 with SP1 installed. Running Exchane 2003 with SP2, and SQL 2000 with latest service packs. Run clients on all server (6) total. any feedback would be appreciated. My password is 17 characters.
