I have 2 nearly identical machines that have the same Ghost image on them. they are on a small network that i have setup, about 25 users. the only problem with the images is that there are only 4 users that can log on! They are logging on to a local domain, and verification is required, but other computers on the network work fine. therefore it has to be the image here and not the server settings for the users. the people who can log on are administrators. when anyone else attempts to log on an error pops up saying "Windows cannot log you on because the profile cannot be loaded. Contact your network administrator. DELTA - Access Denied" Delta is the computer name for one of them. I am the netowrk administrator, any help would be great! Thanks!!

Hmm did you use sysprep to deploy them ? if you ghost them, they probably all have the same SID unless u change them, are they w2k machines or winnt ?

Figured it out. I did use Ghostwalker to change the SID. what happened is somehouse the default user profille directory got mixed up, i copied all of the information out of that directory, deleted the directory, and then created a new directory named default user. copied all of the info back into it and now it works! Thanks for the help though!
