A user on Windows XP attempting to connect to a windows 2000 based domain is unable to login to his laptop. The clock on his laptop is 7 mins slow on his profile. When attmpting to login the following error appears:

"The current time on this computer and the current time on the network are different. To log on contact your system administrator"

Any other user is able to log on to this system with no issues and there profile shows the correct time, user has had rights made up to (and quickly reverted from) domain admin, also has been granted local admin rights. Stil unable to login.

Please Help

I suggest adding the following line to the login script to reset the local time to the Domain time:
NET TIME /DOMAIN: /SET

This will ensure times are always in sync.

We have net time set into the login scripts for users, however this one account was giving grief, also was affecting other PC's that the user logged on. Account seemed correct and password was reset for us engineers to test.

Problem solved in the end by changing password in Hyena, where the users account was showing that it expired while he was away on holiday. User was however able to login to system correctly on return.

Problem solved, not fully understood how it occurred. No harm done and just lost time.

Thanks for help
