Guest vidguide@gmail.com Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Hi, I've come across an odd situation. We have a number of systems that are stand-alone machines running windows XP. We use the reg keys under Winlogon to set the systems to auto logon. On some sites, they actually log into a domain, others not. One of the machines, on a domain site, auto-logs in fine, displays the desktop and icons for about 2 seconds, and then instantly goes to "this computer is locked, only the admin/user can unlock it.. etc" If this machined does NOT log into the domain, it works fine. if I manually log into the domain, it does not do it. only when it auto logs into the domain. I have 3 other machines on that site however, all happily able to log into the domain automatically, so its not group policy related that I can figure. Any ideas? Thanks :)

See if this applies: CAUSE: This behavior can occur for either of the following reasons: When the default screen saver is set to use a non-existent screen saver program. When you use a corrupted screen saver that is password protected. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242917 http://www.jsifaq.com/SF/Tips/Tip.aspx?id=4266 -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm <vidguide@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1187054116.174795.250890@z24g2000prh.googlegroups.com... > Hi, I've come across an odd situation.

This is happening AFTER the AutoLogon happens. the box starts up, completes an Auto logon, then immediately goes to the locked page. Those both appear to relate to this happening while sitting idle at the logon screen. Any further ideas? This is a rather bizzare problem. I've hunted down nearly every registry entry I can find relating to locking and auto logon, but still no luck!
