Over the weekend I had to change the domain name of my main server. I had another server that I set up under the correct domain, then joined my main server to this domain. Now, when my users try to login on a Windows 2000 professional machine, it just sits there with the mouse cursor. I can CTRL-ALT-DEL and logoff just fine. If I login with an administrator account, it works just fine, the desktop loads, everything works. If I give the users admin rights to my domain, everything works justfine. Can anyone help?

You've probably already done this but I'll suggest it anyway...

Have you joined the W2000pro machine to the new domain?

Okay, so you've already done that....

What about the following in Computer Management - Local Security Policy - User Rights Assignment

Access this computer from the network
Deny access to this computer from the network
Deny logon locally
Logon locally

Both deny policies should be clear and the other two policies should have all groups allowed.

I'll get there in the end...

Okay, so I went through and checked all my policies. They are all like you say they should be. There is a Technet Article on it (Q162031). I even tried that with no luck. By the way, I really appreciate your suggestions!

Check the groups on the local machines, You may need to add Domain\Domain Users or Domain\Users to the the Power Users group and\or give Registry access to the users groups (Locally)
