At a workplace we have a server in the DMZ running Samba and other things and therefore not joined to the Windows domain. It has a small set of local users (no, no, we would never share a CIFS over the Internet) whose passwords are managed with smbpasswd. When a user tries to connect to a Samba share, the Windows desktop "helpfully" prefills the login name as domain\username. The login fails because the Samba server is not in the domain. This did not happen in XP.
Extremely simple solution, opt to login as a different user and use:
\username
to login. For some reason this is not widely known. NET USE will also work but then the user has to use a COMMAND window.
It works for me and it also worked for this person.
