user accounts
-----Original Message----- -----Original Message----- I appear to be locked out of secondary accounts...when I go to switch user and then click on one of the other accounts the page just refreshes and will not enter the account. I even tried deleting the other accounts and starting new ones but still cannot lot onto any secondary account. Please help. Thanks . Have you been making any user admin changes in the Policy Editor or User Group membership changes? Check the User Account Group Membership first: Log on with your Primary account (the one that works) then go to settings Control Panel Administrative Tools Computer Management System Tools Local Users and Groups Users In the right hand pane, select one of the secondary accounts (the one that won't log on) by double clicking it and then click the Member Of tab. Take a note of the groups to which the account is a member. If it doesn't belong to any groups, there is your trouble straight away...skip down a few lines to "The Other Option" to find out how to add a user to a group...otherwise continue from here.... Now Check out your security policies: Go to Start Settings Control Panel Administrative Tools Local Security Policy Security Settings Local Policies User Rights Assignment. In the right hand pane look for Log on Locally. Ensure that the group to which your secondary account is a member is also listed in the Log on Locally Security Settings. If it is not, either add the group to the Log on Locally setting by double clicking it Click Add Users or Group... Click Object Types and make sure the Users and Groups check boxes are checked Click OK Click Advanced Click Find Now button Select the Group you need to Add Click OK you should see the group in the window now Click OK again Click OK to close the Properties Window....or.... "The Other Option" is to add the Secondary User Account to a local group that is already a member the Log on Locally Policy. To do this, go back to the Window that you opened previously for Computer Management and click on the Groups folder. In the right hand pane double click on the group you want to make the account a member of Click Add Click the Advanced button Click the Find Now button Select your secondary user account from the list Click OK you should see the user in the window now Click OK Then Click OK again to close the Properties Window. NOTE: Choose your secondary accounts Group Memberships wisely depending upon who is likely to have access to your machine - Administrators can access everything by default with full permissions - you may require this, you may not. However, members of the Users group may not have all the access you require. It is up to you and I can't second guess your requirements. Now try logging off and logging on again as the Secondary Account. Hope this helps, Chavy. . Thanks for the help but right off the bat I have another problem, when I go into Administrative Tools, Computer Management and then System Tools like you said...I have no listing for "Local Users and Groups" all I have is "Event Viewer", "Shared Folder" and "Performance Logs and Alerts".....THIS may be my problem!! Oh No...I don't know what to do now!! |
