Has anyone else encountered the following

I'm trying to set up remote desktop to connect to my work computer from home over DSL. Both Home and work systems are WinXP Pro. I've been able to establish the VPN, and have Remote Desktop enabled on the work computer. I can connect to the computer and get the login screen for the work machine, but get the following error when attempting to connect

"The local policy of this system does not allow you to login interactively.

Any Idea on what settings need changed, or what needs to be added to the work system to allow for login?

Thanks in advance...
 
Hi,

Your work machine's local policy doesn't allow users to login remotely.
You'll have to log in locally (physically) at the machine to get in.
Your network administrator might have put this policy in place to protect
it's assets from external security threats.
You can ask your network admin to remove this restriction.

To remove the restriction you'll have to go into the group policy and edit
the settings.
 
Add you user account to the local remote desktop users group on the PC you
are trying to access.

I still would have a chat with the network admin, though.
