Remote Desktop Connection

[july1765]

I have been able to log into my company's server for several years. Within
the last two weeks, something has changed. I can no longer login. I receive
this error message: "the local policy of this system does not allow you to
logon interactively" What does this mean? I have tried to get my IT guy at
work to help and he has no answer.

Please help. I really need to work from home.

You need to reboot the system. That happens when someone logs off
incorrectly from a remote session.

Just by chance the system was restarted today, and I still can't logon.

This can be a Domain Policy restriction. Use Group Policy Editor to
check the following settings:
(Start->Run->gpedit.msc)

Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration ->Windows Settings ->
Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment

Check the settings for the following entries:
Access this Computer from the Network
Allow Login through Terminal Services
Deny Access to this computer through the network
Deny Login through Terminal Services

Sometimes you can change these values through GPEdit, other times the
Domain Policies override.

HTH,
