When trying to connect to a computer on my home network I get the following
following message " LogonFailure: the user has not been granted the
requested logon type at this computer."
How do I fix this?
The problem and the solution are on the computer that can't be
accessed. Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on that computer -- that's
often all that's needed. If that doesn't fix the problem, keep
reading.
If the computer that can't be accessed runs Windows XP Professional:
1. Click Start | Run, type "secpol.msc" in the box, and click OK.
2. Click Local Policies.
3. Click User Rights Assignment.
4. Click "Access this computer from the network" and make sure that
the Everyone group is included.
5. Click "Deny access to this computer from the network" and make sure
that the Everyone group is NOT included.
If the computer that can't be accessed runs Windows XP Home Edition,
the "secpol.msc" program isn't available. To make the required user
rights assignments:
1. Download and install the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit Tools
from
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4544 .
2. Click Start | All Programs | Windows Resource Kit Tools | Command
Shell.
3. Type these lines at the command prompt. The second and third
commands are case-sensitive, so type them exactly as shown. Note the
"+r" in the second one and the "-r" in the third one:
net user guest /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
