Check the network policy in the Local Group Policy Editor (if there is one
in 2012, I think it came along with 2008 Server).

If the Network "Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for
network authentication policy is enabled and applied, Credential Manager
cannot store the credentials locally, and this might be what is hurting you.
