Netwkstasetuid2 (Return 5) Error Means Privilege Problem (98846)
This article was previously published under Q98846
SYMPTOMS
The undocumented error
Netwkstasetuid2 (return 5)
occurs when a user tries to log on.
CAUSE
Netwkstasetuid2 is a net API call that logs a user on or off from the
network and runs the logon script. Error # 5 means that access is denied
because the user has insufficient privileges.
Possible reasons:
- corrupt user password
- corrupt user account database or file permissions
- many users logged on at once
RESOLUTION
If too many users logged on at once and initiated the error, have users
who received the error log on again after some time. This often is enough
to clear the problem.
Otherwise, investigate the password, user account database or file
permissions and correct any problems you find.
