Logon Error - Event ID 533

  • Thread starter Thread starter MageMaster
  • Start date Start date
You are talking about a Domain Server.

Again, the problem system is standalone, workgroup, no network
connection at all.
 
Please help!!

I have the exact same issue, and I can't figure it out. I need to get
these machines configured soon.

Thanks

IF I can find the solution I WILL pass it on.


What bothers me is the "experts" (especially MVPs) cannot give us a
fix. Especially since many have the exact same problem.

How could WinXP NOT allow logon of a member of the Users Group when
"User Rights Assignment, Log on locally" includes "Users"....?!!!!

Is there no one else that had this problem in the past not found a
fix?

REMINDER: My problem is on a system that is NOT networked
(standalone) so Domain fixes do not apply.
 
I'll have to try your solution, thanks.

It matches one solution found in (found by link in Security Options)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823659/


BUT under paragraph "Security Settings, 1., g." it shows the exact
error msg I get, "Your account is configured to prevent you from using
this computer. Please try another computer."

AND the ref
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/160783/
deals with a Domain logon and the msg is NOT match what KB823659
states.

This is just one example of how many MS KB articles are NOT
consistent.
 
Your solution pointed me to the FIX.

Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

The problem was
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
\CrashOnAuditFail
entry was corrupted ("Invalid DWORD")

Had to delete CrashOnAuditFail, then re-add it to correct the DWORD
(default = 0)

Restarted, tested user logon and it WORKED!

Reset CrashOnAuditFail = 1

Restarted and tested OK again.
