I have a win 2003 server, and clients (workstations) run
Win 2000 pro. Until a few days ago all was well. Today
when I added a new user to the active domain, tha stranges
thisg happened. I was able to log in (and thereby build a
new profile) to the client machine. I was able to log back
out and log back into the profile. However, as soon as I
svaed a document in the profiles "my document" folder and
rebooted the computer, I was no longer able to log in as
this user! I replicated this behavior on a bunchof other
workstations, and every time if I had saved a documant
into the profile and rebooted, logging in was no longer
possible.

I deleted the user feom the active directory as well as
the Exchange mailbox. I built a new profile, and same
thing occured!

I get the same message as you would get if you made a
typing error in your username or password ( The system
could not log you on...etc)

I am able to log in users I have added previously with no
problem...

Cannot find this problem listed anywhere on the MS
Knowledgebase.

I would be most grateful for some expert advice!
 
Sounds like they are not members of the Everyone group or domain users. what
happens if you do not save any document to the profile? can you log on the
second go around?
