The error code Win32 0x00000569 translates to ERROR_LOGON_TYPE_NOT_GRANTED, indicating an issue with a user attempting to log on to the system using a method that their account type is not authorized for. User accounts in Windows can have different logon types associated with them, and these types determine the acceptable logon methods.

Here’s a breakdown of the error and potential troubleshooting steps:

Understanding the Error:

• Windows offers different logon methods, such as standard logon with username and password, interactive logon for direct physical access, or network logon for access over a network.
• User accounts are assigned logon types based on their purpose and security requirements.
• This error arises when a user tries to log on using a method that their account type is not allowed to use. There could be a mismatch between the attempted logon type and the user’s account configuration.

Common Causes:

• Incorrect Logon Method: The user might be trying to log on using a method (like network logon) that their account type (like a standard user account) is not allowed to use.
• Account Configuration Issue (Less Likely): In rare cases, the user account itself might be misconfigured regarding its authorized logon types.

Troubleshooting Steps:

Here’s how you can address the ERROR_LOGON_TYPE_NOT_GRANTED error:

• Verify Logon Method:

  • Ensure the user is attempting to log on using a valid and supported method for their account type. Consult your system administrator or refer to Windows documentation for details on different logon types and account limitations.

• Use Allowed Logon Method:

  • If the user needs to log on locally, they should use a standard logon method with a username and password. For network logon requirements, consult your system administrator.

• System Administrator Involvement (Recommended):

  • If the logon method seems correct but the error persists, involving your system administrator is recommended. They can verify the user account configuration, logon type restrictions, and potentially adjust them if necessary while maintaining appropriate security practices.

Security Note:

• Logon types are a security measure to control access methods for different user accounts. Be cautious about modifying logon type restrictions for user accounts.

In Summary:

The Win32 0x00000569 error (ERROR_LOGON_TYPE_NOT_GRANTED) indicates a user trying to log on with an unauthorized method for their account type. By verifying the logon method, using appropriate methods, and consulting your system administrator, you can ensure users log on securely using authorized methods. Remember to prioritize security and avoid bypassing logon restrictions on user accounts.
