Re: "The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denie

WJB I'm not sure how to answer this one because it is a problem (from my research, anyway) that has been around for a while and nothing concrete in the way of solving it - well other than the obvious one of re-installing windows.

From what I gather it is a user profile problem and the two main 'possible'
repair options are to either create a new user profile for that user (in this case, you) or, and this may be more relevant because you have backups, copy the 'ntuser.dat' file from your backup to your current machine. It appears that this has worked for one user, anyway - see http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2699049&SiteID=17

If the Symantec tech support agent made a change to your system without realising it then I would be getting back in touch with Symantec to find out what the hell he did wrong.

I'm not familiar with this problem so all I can really do is point you in the direction of some possible resources (the one above) in the hope that one of the answers will help you out.

Sorry I can't be more help on this one

Hi,

I was noline with Symantec Tech Support and the agent made a change to my
system without realizing it, and now I cannot login to my account. I get the
above message. What does it mean and how can I get it resolved?

I can log in as Admin, except that the system seems to be an order of
magnitude slower compared to before this online session.

I also tried to restore the system to several Restore Points prior to all
this, but they were all unsuccessful.

Please help!!!

Thanks
