Did you check and verify the User Rights are still setup correctly and
that the users getting the error are in the appropriate groups? Does it
happen to specific users or computers? Once it happens, does it
"correct" itself or do you have to reapply your security template each
time? The error itself is a User Rights issue typically, so I would
check there first.
