Ok so this is basically just happening on one physical computer. If this user logs in on a different machine everything works perfectly. But from his machine if he tries to go to the forums he gets this error. I have tried clearing his temp files, cookies, etc and it continues to happen. Any ideas anyone?

I'm wondering if this could be a case issue that the username is in a different case to that stored in the database and so can not match up the user to an account and therefore attempts to add the user as a new user, but fails as the username is already in the database.

I did check the database to see if the user was already in there and he is. I am assuming this is because he logged on from a different workstation. But his username should be the same on any workstation he logs in on as its all active directory. I am still unable to resolve this but am somewhat happy that it is only happening to my co-worker!

I would be interested to get to the bottom of this to findout why and if necessary make adjustments to the code.

If you edit the file functions/functions_windows_authentication.asp and place the following code at line 82:-

Response.Write(strAuthenticatedUser)

This will the display the users login name at the top of the page. If you then could try login in as this person from both locations and see if there is a difference in their usersname.

Once you have done this remove the code.

Very interesting. When he goes to the site from his computer it logs his username as "Domain B\administrator", but when he logs in from any other computer it logs it as "Domain A\jsmith"

It could be that he is logging in as the domain administrator rather than under his own username.

Well the Domain B account is definetely a domain admin account. But why it is trying to login as that I do not understand. He is absolutely logged into his machine as Domain A\jsmith. How would it be trying to login as domain B\administrator?

Web Wiz Forums just reads from the server the account the user is logged in under to browse the web site.

If for some reason the account that the user uses from that machine is the admin account to view the web site then this is what is read in from the server.
