Question : Logon Failure: account currently disabled

Hello,

I'm getting the error: "\\computername\sharename is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator.....Logon failure: account durrently disabled."  Normally this would make sense to me as eithor the user and/or computer accounts on the domain became disabled for some reason.  But this isn't the case and a different user on the same computer can access the desired resource, plus the same user on a different computer can access the desired resource.

Background:

The computer with the shared folder is a Windows XP Professional SP1 with a standard shared folder with all Domain Users having Modify(read/write/change), but not Full control on the physical folder plus everyone has full access to the share itself.  I open access through the share and control it on the folder itself.

The computer trying to access the share is also a Windows XP Professional SP1.  I can login with my user and access the share on this computer and the user(Mac) can't access it when logged into his computer, but I can login as him our Windows 2000 Terminal Server and access the share with no problem.

Thanks,
Troy

Answer : Logon Failure: account currently disabled

Is deleting his UserProfile on the laptop an option?  If so, the least time-consuming thing to do is to delete it and recreate it.

Alternatively, if it's a laptop and there isn't much customization going on there between users (yeah right), you could COPY another user's profile over Mac's and try it.  But I find deleting the user profile would solve little mysteries such as these.... It really doesn't help find the root of the problem, but it sure helps put out the fire.  :-)
