Two differences that I would consider, jh.
First is authentication. When you try to access certain
resources on
your local network, your computer will try to authenticate
against a
domain user. In your first option (dzNet), when you request
access to
say a domain file share, your machine will authenticate you
as "dzNet
username" and the password for that account. In your
second option
(this computer), it will authenticate you as
"southBldgusername" and
the password for that account. Even though you are using the
same
username and password values for each account, they are in
fact two
different user accounts.
Second, any server(s) you logon to with these two different
user
accounts will have its own user profile. So you logon to
dzNet and
begin customizing your Windows experience. Any per-user
setting
changes, as well as My Documents, Favorites, and Desktop
changes won't
show on the southBldg logon.
As far as shutdown/restart, there is a policy settings that
allows
specific user groups to shut down the machine. You are
probably
observing the effects of that policy.
