Dear Maintainer,

When unlocking workstation, the error message "no logon servers" appears
frequently here. This and similar error messages are treated as though
they were incorrect password, when they are not. In particular,
such error messages should not:

* increment the logon failed counter
* pay the escalating wrong password block screen timeout
* attempt (uselessly) to lock the user account due to wrong password
  count being too high
