Windows 10 sign in issues

Sign in on remote machine with local credentials from that remote machine

VRAAG

Hoe kan ik de oude machine benaderen vanaf de nieuwe?

Connecteren naar oudemachine.domein.ext lukt wel, maar met mijn gebruikersnaam en wachtwoord van die machine lukt het niet - is daar een lokale user, dat is vermoedelijk de reden.

ANTWOORD: the Dot Backslash trick

Als gebruikersnaam gebruik je dan .\gebruikersnaam

.\ = shorthand for "this computer"
