hi im new to windows server and i could use a little help

[Guest]

hi i am running the windows server 2003 enterprise edition trial for 64 bit extended systems. i am using it to kind of get a grip on how it works 'cause i am wanting to get a few computer certifications including a few microsoft. ok so i am stuck on creating users its obviously not as easy as it is in 2000 pro of xp home i went into Active Directory Users and Computers and created the users i want but when i try to log on under them it says something about interactive users are not allowed can any one help me i was hoping to get this working so that the rest of my family can use it and i would not have to install win 2k pro on a seprete partition can any one help me please

thanks

By default, the account operators, administrators, backup operators, print
operators, server operators, Internet guest account, and Terminal Services
user account are assigned the right to log on locally to a Windows-based
domain controller. You can use the Microsoft Management Console Group
Policy Editor snap-in in your Windows-based computer to assign "Log on
locally" user rights to other users and groups:

Please check this link same for both 2000 and 2003
