This had been changed by the user so I deleted all keys and imported from a
machine that is working normally.

Now I see the machine on the network but no shares, althouigh C$ and ADMIN$
are now being shared. If I try to connect to the PC I get

\\WS02 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access permissions.

Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I am a Domain Admin, and Domain Admins are part of the local Administrators
group. I checked the Local Security Policy and it is identical to that of a
machine that is working normally.

Any clues on the Logon Failure?

Thanks!
