In my computer lab I recently added a computer running Win2000. The other computers are running NT. I set up the computer and can log on as administrator and the computer lab log on. However, when I try to log on using my username and password, the machine reboots. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

I know that in a win2000 server environment you add the computer to the server then boot the computer up as admin. to add the user. It sounds like the win2000 computer was installed incorrectly for users. As you installed 2000 did you answer all questions correctly or guess at a few? how did you setup the user and what are his rights?

Hi,

Check the event log for any indication of problems at the time you attempt to log in.

Its likely to be some dud software that your login alone attempts to start up. Or more likely some permission problem with your account.

Is your account part of the administrators group? How about the "computer lab" account?

Cheers,
Tim.

Just a guess but Is there a login script or policy set for the NT 4 account? If there is, is it valid in 2000? The only think I have seen reboot 2000 is software that interfaces with hardware like directcd.

I feel that you have created a group policy or a user policy after installing correctly the operating system. If you have done so then remove the policy applied to the user and the group. Then reboot and try to login. This should solve your problem.
