One NT workstaton get this error message when
users tried to logon with open profile and mandatory from PDC.

Unable to log you on because your profile could not be load.

But local administrator can logon to that
computer without any error message.

What is the best solution?

Thanks

Sounds like your mandatory profile is for a different OS (Win95 or Win2K) or else it is corrupt. I would re-create the profile and try it again.

You could also change the setting so that users don't use a mandatory profile, but then you'll lose your control of their profile.

The reason Administrator can log on is because Admin is a local user (on the workstation and not the network) and thus has it's profile stored on the PC and not the server.

This user has a roaming open file, not mandatory profile. She login fine at another station. I also create a new account for this user and deleted that compute from PDC and recreated it.
Problem is still there. Now the user can login with error message and every time she wants to run applications and is getting different error message.

Thanks

Make sure the Default User and All User profiles have not been removed. Bad things happen, if they are deleted.

Local Admin always can log to the NT machine without problems.
I think you should first check:
1. The Network connection between the Machine and server, try to ping the PDC by IP and Name
2. Under User manger for domains check if there is no limit for users to access certain machines
3. is this happened will all users on that machine or it is only for one use?
If it is only for one user, check the permission for this user on the folder where the profiles are saved in the PDC

I hope thiscould help

Good Luch.

I had a simlar problem and was only able to solve it by removing the client from the domain at the server and then going to the client and rejoining the domain. I could log on as an administrator but no one else could as a user until I tried it in desparation.

Be sure to wait the period listed from you screen prompt before trying to rejoin if you plan to keep the client computers' name the same.
