Does anyone have a link that goes into detail regarding the UPN logon method?

I have configure the UPN suffix etc. but when I try the logon username@domainname.com I get the message domain not available. If I logon on using the standard method there is not problem at all.

I am using on forest and one domain so I can't see why UPN logon doesn't work.

I have searched technet and the only UNP issues they deal with is outlook not supporting UPN until service pack 1 is applied.

Thanks in advance.

Have you cleared the name out of the domain box at the bottom?

Putting an @ in the User name automatially clears the domain name box....Go into Active directory users and computers and make sure that the user account has the correct domain name slected for UPN logon.

Make sure the Global Catalog is available, as one is required for UPN based login.

Hi all,

The UPN suffix is correct and the global catalog is available. A normal log on works but the UPN log on fails on the aforementioned error.

DNS is correct as I've tested with nslookup and Active directory is working.

It's not important but it's just something that I thought would work and doesn't so I'm curious to see why it isn't working.

Have you applied the fix from the Microsoft security bulletin MS01-026.
