I have a network of approximately 30 people. Any person can go to any computer and sign in to their account.
My problem is one lady can login to her computer and account, but can't login to any other computer. She is a member of the administration group.
What can I do to correct this problem?

    Hi @Dennis Bohnert

    1) Try changing her password.

    2) Check her AD Properties > Account (tab) > User logon name (if it was changed by accident)

    3) Check under AD Properties > Account (tab) > Is her account unlocked?

    4) Check Event Viewer on the device she tried to login to > Security (for any events that pertain to the failure) as @MotoX80 pointed out already.

    Checked AD Properties account is unlocked

    I could not find and errors in the event viewer.

    Run gpedit.msc and verify that you are logging logon events.

    Than you for your reply.

    Under Audit account login events it says no auditing. It actually says that about all the categories.

    So enable auditing, try to login with the user account, and then check the security eventlog to see what error you get.

    Pick a temp folder and try to grant access to that account to the security permissions. That will verify that the computer can contact active directory and can see the account.

    Or use the runas command and try to launch a program.

    C:\Temp>runas /user:Mydomain\MyUser cmd.exe  
    Enter the password for Mydomain\MyUser:  
    Attempting to start cmd.exe as user "Mydomain\MyUser" ...  
    RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd.exe  
    1326: The user name or password is incorrect.

    This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.
