I have a problem whereby one of my users can't logon to
our Windows 2000 Advanced Server. It claims the account is
disabled even though the account is not disabled?

Anyone know the solution? The Client is Win XP Pro.

Perhaps needless to say, ALL Windows updates have been
applied to the XP Pro Client and the Win 2K Server. All
was fine yesterday, and today the user, and myself have
come into this time waster!
 
I have now resolved this problem. It was created in the
first part by a mis-leading Microsoft error message. It
was not infact the user account that was disabled (as I
had assumed) it was the COMPUTER account. So the solution
is ofcourse simple:

1) Remove the computer from the Domain.
2) Rename the computer.
3) Add it back into the Domain.

QED...no more problem.
