The local policy of this system does not permit you to log-on interactively Problem

[Jonathan]

Hi all,

I have a win2k pro system, and i am having problems logging on to the box as
administrator, when i do so i receive a message "The local policy of this
system does not permit you to log-on interactively".

Now i had a google and i found an article which stated i could use a tool
called ntrights.exe from the resource kit to reset the rights. The problem
i'm having is, as follows I created a Boot disk with NTFS read/write drivers
and when i boot from a floppy into the machine i get an error saying the exe
"cannot be run in DOS mode"

Any ideas how i can reset the local policys from the Command prompt?

Thanks in advance
Jonathan

Hi Joe, i ran the app but i received a similar error mesasge as before
"Application cannot run in DOS Mode".

I ran ver on the bootdisk and it's a win milenium boot disk using NTFS4DOS
application to read the NTFS volumes.

Yeah, it won't run that way, it is a Windows program, boot up the domain, run
from a workstation against the DC.
