Is there any way to clear a Windows 2003 server's cached domain
credentials, short of restarting the Workstation service or rebooting
the computer?

Thanks in advance,

J Wolfgang Goerlich

What are you calling the cached credentials?

The creds in use with a remote machine due to an existing connection?
- use net session to delete the existing before attempting new with
different creds
for info issue net help session

The creds used by default with opening a connection to a remote?
- start / run control keymgr.dll and remote the defined, stored creds
for the remote

Something other than these ??

Cached credentials doesn't refer to either of these. Cached
credentials refer to one's ability to log on using a domain
account when a domain controller is not available.

I am not aware of any way to clear these cached credentials
short of deleting the user's profile however.

Perhaps you are correct in that being what poster means.
You are quite correct in that MS uses the term as you say.

The comment indicating that perhaps poster's experience
with stop/start of Workstation service has accomplished
the goal however made me question this.

That's what you get for top posting. :-)
