Local Policy & Remote Desktop Connection
Our Network is composed of a Windows 2000 SBS Server and all Workstations are running Windows 2000 OS ...
Recently, we have purchased two workstations with Windows XP Professional and using a VPN connection, and then the Remote Desktop Connection the Windows XP Professional users can log to their Desktop with no problems when they are out-of-office ...
I have upgraded a couple of workstations from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Professional ... Then tried to log remotely using a VPN connection and access the upgraded workstions using Remote Desktop Connection, but I get the following message when I try to log to the workstation:
"The local policy does not permit you to logon interactively"
When I logged as a local Administrator to that specific workstation, I found that under Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy, Local Policies, User Rights Assignment, Log on Locally everything is set correctly in terms of the Users and Groups which are allowed to access this machine (Administrator / Users / Everyone ... etc.)
I have also checked the second workstation which I have upgraded to Windows XP Professional and the same problem presist ...
Also, I have used NTRights.exe to force the "Log on Locally", but no success ...
Kindly help me with that issue as I don't want to go through the route of clean installation of the Wondows XP Pro and all the applications ...
Thank you in advance for your cooperation ...
