So you are not able to logon at all as that user?? If that is the case
enable auditing of logon events on the computer in question and account
logon events in Domain Controller Security Policy to see if any logon
failures are recorded and the reason for such. The error seems to indicate
unknown user account or bad password. By default all domain users can logon
to all domain computers except domain controllers. Make sure you are logging
onto the correct domain or not the local machine on the computer in
question. Also check that the user has permissions to their local profile
which by default would be full control and also be owner. --- Steve
