the local policy of this system does not allow you to logon interactively

Hello,

Perhaps you have seen this problem with
the remote desktop server on Windows XP.
I have upgraded my office machine from Window 2000 Pro to
Windows XP Pro on my office machine.
Under Control Panel -> System -> Remote
I have enabled the remote desktop server.

Also, for completeness I added AD\gwong to
the list of remote users (it already
stated that AD\gwong has access). I then rebooted the
office machine.

When I try to do a remote desktop connection either
from another office machine running XP or from my home
machine running NT with the remote desktop client, I get
the following error:

"The local policy of this machine does not allow you to
logon interactively"

I did a google search and found the problem described under:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;289289
But all that article advised was to add AD\gwong to the
list of remote users which I had already done.

Would you have any other suggestions? Perhaps, I have to
remove some kind of local security policy that happens to
be installed on my machine?

Thanks

See if this helps...Note the part about the group policy...

Thank you! I added myself and Administrators to the
"Allow login through Terminal Services" user right and
that solved the problem.
