benlu,

Thank you for your time to reply to my question.

I have a user that can access a restricted share folder when she logon to her workstation but cannot access this restricted share folder if she logon to a different workstation. Weird. Now, if I logon to her workstation with a different user, this different user cannot access this restricted folder. What am I missing?

I think to modify the ntuser.dat of this user because for some reason it gets admin credential when she logs on to the domain. I found when I looked at the session for this specific workstation and the it registered to administrator even though I logged on as the user's credential. SO, my guess is that the admin credential is stucked in the ntuser.dat file. How can I modify this file?

 
Or, is there any other solution?

My objective is that when the user logs on that she will get her credential instead of the administrator rights.

Thank you in advance!
 
u may logon with local admin and rename that ntuser.dat to ntuser.da_ to see what happens.
