"Your account is configured to prevent you from using this workstation"

I have a few multi-user standalone machines in a closed area (e.g. no network/internet connection). My users get the error (quoted in the title of this thread) when I set the following flag to enabled:

Shutdown system immediately if unable to log security audits

Unfortunately, I MUST have this setting enabled. Microsoft does recognize this issue, and suggests I turn it to disabled by editing the proper registry key. This is not an option for me. Has anyone else had a problem like this and found an adequate work around?

Thanks!

Where do you log the system audits? The system itself, or is it configured to log to a server on the network, which does not exist? If it is a remote server, when there is no network, then that could be the problem.

They system is configured to log everything locally. In addition, I always double check when this occurs to ensure that the log space allocated is not full.

What are your security log size set at? Do you have a max log size with the option not to clear them automatically? try increasing the log file size or saving and clearing them on a regular basis.

While I do have a MAX size set, it is nowhere near that size. When it does reach that limit, it gives me a different error, so I don't believe that is the issue. Perhaps I'll just set the logs to overwrite themselves after a certain period of time just to make sure.

Thanks.

Ok, let us know if it works, or doesn't work
