But waht happens when a domain user logs into a Windows machine (or a 
domain admin, which is also a user)?

 From this time on, the password is "cached" somewhere on the 
workstation, right?

Because as I recall, I was able to log into the machine as a domain user 
when the domain controller was disconnected - only when the password 
matched. So it *has* to be stored somewhere.

I'm not interested where it is stored, I would only like to know if the 
domain admin password would be also "cached", or rather it won't for 
security reasons?
