Windows Server

Amanda C. · Guest

Running SBS2003, 1 server running windows, exchange, IIS, file and print,
etc., 5 workstations (Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional). System has
been up and running for approx 3 months.
Yesterday I started getting the "Local policy of this system does not permit
you to logon interactively" message. I am not trying to use terminal server
(although it is installed, and remote connection enabled - just haven't
gotten around to playing with it) or use remote desktop - just logon to the
network to work at my workstation. Administrator can logon, and I can take
any user account, apply the administrator template, and logon and work
normally (I obviously realize that that is not a viable solution).
The day before, I was browsing the various policy areas, trying to learn
more about them. Made 2 changes (I really do think that's all): to password
length and account lockout policies (had never noticed that the default is 50
attempts before lockout). While it makes no sense to me, I'm assuming that I
changed something to cause this, but can't figure out what.
Any ideas as to where to look would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

From the description, I understand that you encountered some questions when
logging in the workstation while using non administrator privileges. If I
am off base, please let me know.

This question may be caused by a Local Policy on the workstation. Regarding
this issue, please see my comments below:

1. Please logon the workstation with an administrator privilege.

2. Click Start->Run, type "gpedit.msc" (without the quotes) and click
OK.

3. Go to "Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security
Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment".

4. Double click the "Log on Locally" policy and make sure the users
you want to logon are listed, if they are not, please add them to the list.

For more information about logging on your workstation, please review the
article below:

you

I hope the above information is useful,if you have any questions, please
let me know.

Have a nice day!
