Status: Unverified
SYMPTOM(s):
Username in promon doesn't match clients machine login name
Using Windows XP Home
Client renamed operating system account on Windows XP Home yet sees the old name displayed in promon
Client renamed operating system account on Windows XP Pro yet doesn't see the old name displayed in promon
CAUSE:
Windows XP Home does not correctly update the USERNAME environment variable which Progress uses if no user name is supplied when a database connection is made.
Renaming an account in Windows XP Home does not appropriately change registry entries to reflect the new account name. Windows will accept a logon by the new username, however all registry references will still point at the original account name.
FIX:
1) Please backup all relevant files owned by this user.
2) Delete the account and recreate the account.
This is necessary for Windows to fully update the appropriate registry entries which Windows uses to set the USERNAME variable.
