I upgraded my database from version 7 to version 8

Version 7 was running on IIS5

Version 8 is running on IIS6

I am using SQL Server and Windows Authentication

Windows usernames are not resolved in a compatible way.

Legacy users show up as "domain\username"

When logging in users are now referenced as "username" without the domain portion so they do not match their existing user account.

Is there a quick fix for this or do I need to update my database with non domain user names?

Edit the file functions/functions_windows_authentication.asp and remove the following lines at line 136:-

'Use the last part of the windows authentication (bit without domain) as the forum username
        If InStrRev(strAuthenticatedUser, "\") = 0 Then
            strUserName = strAuthenticatedUser
        Else
            strUserName = Mid(strAuthenticatedUser, InStrRev(strAuthenticatedUser, "\")+1, Len(strAuthenticatedUser))
        End If
