I am trying to log a new user into computer but keep receiving this message: Your account is configured to prevent you from using this computer. Please try another computer. I have reimaged the machine twice. Changed the machine name. Our Windows administrator checked the security and registry settings and could find nothing amiss.
The message appears on all pc's I try to log the user into.

If anyone has a clue why this is happening, I would be greatly appreciative.

Regards,
Bob
 
Thanks Bcastner. That link is right on. That computer account was set to login to some specialized servers we use instead of all computers. I can only guess it was set this way when developers were testing and the machine got recycled into general production.

Again, thanks for your help.
 
It is an odd and annoying error message. Glad you got the issue sorted.

Best,
Bill Castner
