The account has been restricted contact the system administrator

User on XP Professional Service Pack 3 came back to the office with his laptop and can no longer log on to his computer.  User gets  the following message:
    "The account has been restricted contact the system administrator"
The Domain Server is running Server 2008
The users laptop has been working for approximately 4 months

Any Ideas?

Hi there,

I had the same problem with a user's computer (Windows XP SP3 runing on a Server 2003 network), it wasn't letting anybody sign in with anydomain network accounts from Active Directory. I fixed it by logging in with the local Administrator account, and then disjoining/rejoining the computer to the domain. After that it allowed the domain accounts to sign in. Hope this helps!

Colin.

Hi griff,

Have you tried contacting your System Administrator regarding this? There could be Group Policy Objects set by the admin that's why this is happening.

I am the system administrator, and I don't have any security restrictions that I know of that should disallow me to download Microsoft Security Essentials.

This happens when the computer account has been disabled in Active Directory.

It sounds like a restriction has been placed in the registry. Have a look.

Go to Start>run and type regedit. Press enter.

Navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninstall

Click Uninstall to highlight it. Look in the right pane for this DWORD 
NoAddRemovePrograms

If you find it, Right Click on it and chose delete from the pop up menu.

If not Navigate to this key and look for the same entry. Remove it if you find it.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninstall
