"Your account is configured to prevent you....
from using this computer. Please try another computer."
Thats the error message I keep getting for the lab account we created for the lab computers here at the school where I work. I'm certain this policy was set on purpose to prevent the student lab accounts from accessing instructor's computers... however now the problem is I have no idea where this configuration is, or how to add another system. I could simply create another lab account for the students but then that account would also have permissions to the rest of the computers on campus... can anyone tell me where I can set the lab account so that it may access this new system?
Thanks.

I've gone through the accont properties but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Which tab would lead me to the list?
There is a folder in the active directory called Student Computers... I moved the new system into this folder but it didn't fix anything.

I have also seen DNS problems cause this. Try ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /registerdns on the troubled machines.

Jasper,
I read up on that however I don't feel that this message is an error. I'm thinking that someone actually set up the lab account to be denied access to most of the systems on the network for security reasons. My question now is, where do I find this configuration so that I can add another system to the list?

The LAB account must have the list of computers where he could logon.
Check the user account properties.
