logon prevented

[Abby]

I have 2 users whose computers rebooted on their own
yesterday and both now get the message "Your account is
configured to prevent you from using this computer.
Please try another computer." Both were fine until this
mystery re-boot. They can log on to other computers so it
seems to be a local security policy, although they
actually log in to the domain server. I've checked their
local policies and user rights and don't see any reason
for them to be unable to log in. They're not denied
logon. I tried adding them to the allowed users on the
local machine but that didn't fix it.

My own reply for those who have already reported this
problem........ I discovered that the auditing on these
computers were not set to automatically overwrite.
Somewhere in the security profile there is a setting that
shuts the user down when the security log is full. In
addition, there is an entry in the registry that has to be
edited once the user is locked out. Once I changed the
auditing setting and edited the registry, the users were
able to log in again. Hope this helps those who were also
having this problem.
