Windows 2000 pro client login error

This is a weird problem we have starting getting on a few of our 2000 pro
client machines. Our set-up is as follows. 2 Win 2003 domain controllers
using active directory. Our desktop is Win 2000 with SP4.

at logon:-

Windows cannot copy file C:\Documents and Settings\Default

User\Local Settings\Application

Data\PCHealth\ErrorRep\QSignoff\ to location C:\Documents

and Settings\jbarclay\Local Settings\Application

Data\PCHealth\ErrorRep\QSignoff\. Contact your network

administrator.

DETAIL - Access is denied.

And then I get:-

Windows cannot log you on because the profile cannot be

loaded. Contact your network administrator.

DETAIL - Access is denied.

And then it throws me back to the logon prompt.

Has anyone come across this before?

I assume that

From the looks of this error, I'd say it's not really anything to do with AD
;-)

Check the permissions on the default user profile folder. You need to
ensure that EVERYONE has read permissions to this folder.

Is it possible that you've recently copied an existing profile to this
folder, or changed permissions higher up and forced them to propagate?

I found that there was a folder created under C:\Documents and
Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Application Data\PCHealth that did not
have the correct permissions on it. I believe this folder is created if a
machine crashes..but I am not sure. To resolve the issue I deleted the
folder and all it's contents and users are now able to login again.
