I think there's something wrong with the setup on our domain, but I don't know what it is.

Whenever anybody logs onto a local account, Windows 2000 Pro logs them out (after 'Loading User Settings' it instantly starts 'Saving User Settings').

I have checked for viruses and trawled our Group Policies, but am most concerned because it seems the computer will go into the OS before logging out (sometimes, Explorer gets going). But I just cannot find the cause!

users can log on using a cached account, but on a laptop where LAN accounts have desktop and menus on the server, that's not much use.

This applies to local users, super users and administrators. Any help would be coveted!

Thanks
 
I forgot to mention that the domain is controlled by Windows NT 4 machines and the workstations are Windows 2000 Pro.
 
I've seen similar behaviour if the PC has a policy specified on it that doesn't allow local logins, or has local logins restricted a a select group.
