Most times I've seen this issue is when the users are logged into the local
machine admin account instead of the domain admin account.

Which means the DC Squid uses to test the authentication has no record of
them ever logging in. One guess what the result is.

Most times this is not a serious issue, but means those users just have to
fill out a popup. Is there something in your use of ACLs which prevent that
popup appearing?
