This can also happen if someone is using the remote desktop and not logging of properly. Use the rdp client with the /console switch "mstc.exe /console". logon and then log them off.

just create him a new account ;)

what does it think they are .txt files ?

Take him out of all the groups except domain users then add him to one group at a time.

Depending on how many users want access and how IT literate they are. Create accounts with the same username as AD accounts and synchronise passwords. The only problem is password changing day. Either they TS to the server and change password or write them a little batch file that changes the...
