Windows 8.1 MicrosoftAccount on the ReadyNas104
Why does windows 8.1 change my "credentials" from User/password to computerName/User/Password ?
Because windows takes ComputerName as Domain name when PC its not tied into Domain network.
Basically Local Domain Name = Computer name and it treats user accounts as Domain accounts, even if PC is not tied into domain network.
Hence the naming scheme "COMPUTERNAME\UserName"
Why windows works this way, go figure...
