Jesse,
I have not seen an issue with AD authentication and special characters.
I assume you are doing this with a personal account and NOT the Administrator account.
Are you able to login with a different account? You may have an AD authentication connection issue..
Check the logs..
You may need to configure the AD authentication using some encryption.. Also make sure to use ALL caps in the krb5.ini file.
You mayneed to confgure the krb5.ini file as the following:
[libdefaults]
default_realm = DDPV.COM
default_tkt_enctypes = RC4-HMAC, DES-CBC-CRC, DES3-CBC-SHA1,DES-CBC-MD5
default_tgs_enctypes = RC4-HMAC, DES-CBC-CRC, DES3-CBC-SHA1, DES-CBC-MD5
[realms]
DDPV.COM = {
kdc = DC01.DOMAIN.COM
kdc = DC02.DOMAIN.COM
}
Good Luck
