Ok, the exact message is:

The system could not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain are
correct, then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed
using the correct case. Make sure that Caps Lock is not accidentally on.

The strange thing is, he types in the correct username and password
everytime. This happens only at first few attempts, it then goes through
after a few trys. On that terminal server's security log. I receive Event
529 and failure reason is "Unknown user name or bad password." I've already
tried deleting the license on the user's local machine.. same thing still
happens. User's laptop has Win2k SP4 on it. I found MS article, Q290706,
however he doesn't have automatic logon with long password. So I'm sort of
at loss right now

help please!
thanks
