Vista RTM Stored Passwords - regression?
In Windows XP, you could use the following syntax to create domain-wide
stored passwords: DOMAIN\* This allowed to you connect to any resource in DOMAIN using the stored credential set. This no longer works in Vista. You either have to specify the full server FQDN or create entries for netbios-named servers. Anyone know why? Also, you can no longer sync your domain password in the Stored Passwords dialog box (another feature that was present in Windows XP). Why the regression? Regards, Stuart.

Vista RTM Stored Passwords - regression?
Hello Stuart [MVP],
See if storing your password is retained across a system restart. for a while I was working with Vista being just a workgroup member, and even though I told it to remember passwords for domain resources, it would always ask again after I had rebooted. I'm curious whether that got fixed in RTM...

Vista RTM Stored Passwords - regression?
Hi Rich,
Yes, they are saved across a system restart. Unfortunately, MS has chosen (apparently) to dumb-down that feature. In XP you could use wildcards in the servername field and when you changed the credential password it let you change it on the target domain as well. For the life of me I don't understand why this has been removed. Stuart.

Vista RTM Stored Passwords - regression?
Well, apparently you cannot even reset domain-based network stored passwords
using the CTRL-ALT-DEL "Change a Password" screen. Brilliant. "Stuart [MVP]" wrote: Hi Rich, Yes, they are saved across a system restart.
