i have w2003 server, and like 40 users accounts. i grant domain users the right to add workstations to domain and everything was ok. recently i created 3 more users accounts in the same OU as the rest, the same gpo, everything identical
those new created users accounts cant join the workstation to domain.(i recive "The following error has occurred attempting to join the domain. Access denied"
if i use an old account, created earlyer is no problem, but with those new created ....

If you are trying to join a machine that already has an account in AD (or
has recently been deleted from AD), please see the following article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;330095

If the computer account does not already exist in AD, the next step would be
to check the group membership of the working and non-working accounts and
see if there are any differences.....check to see what AD groups they belong
to and what local groups they belong to on the machine you are joining to
the domain.

Also, check the netsetup.log file for any errors.
