Cause

  • This error message is due to the setting "Allow user to log on to a specified computer" in Active Directory. This setting restricts the user to logon to only a specified computer.

  • There might be a mismatch in the attribute of AD Mapping and users summary information.

Resolution 1

  1. To resolve this issue go to your Active Directory server. Open the User and Computers snap in. Go to the container where failed user resides.

Resolution 2

We need to ensure AD username field should match the UPN of the user in the AD. The UPN of the user can be found under the "Account" tab in the AD for user properties.
