Remote Desktop Connection- Local Policy issue

[Sunil]

Hello All,
I am unable to connect to my desktop if I am connecting from home. It says
that "The local policy of this system does not permit to logon
interactively". I created a OU and added my computer to that OU and made the
changes requested in the policy to allow logon on locally. I also added my
username in the Select remote users section, but still continue to get the
same error. I was able to connect my computer when it was still Windows XP
SP1, but now I am using SP2. I am not sure what other changes I can make.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sunil

You receive the 'The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively'?

It sounds like you've got a misconfigured firewall. Service Pack 2
automatically enables the Windows Firewall. If you are using a
third-party firewall (and have properly configured it to allow your
remote desktop traffic), then turn the Windows Firewall off. You don't
want two firewalls running. If you are only using the Windows Firewall,
you'll need to open ports for remote access. The exact ports depend on
the program you are using to do the remote access.

There is no other firewall running.
I finally figured it out, there is an option in the local machine to allow
logon through terminal services. Users have to be assigned to this, who will
have rights to log on.

I appreciate the help.

Thanks again
