Hi,for study purposes i have built a network consisting of an nt4 server(pdc) and a nt4 workstation,and a win98 laptop. I created a domain,and a few accounts. The laptop can log on to the domain on it's account so that's fine,but the workstation gets a message that the local policy of that machine does not allow it to logon interactively. I cannot find what it is that this causes? For an expirianced administrator this must be easy right? Help is appreciated as always, RB

RB, Try this. Log on locally to the NT machine as the machine's local administrator. Go to network properties and remove the NT machine from the network (basically put it on a workgroup, the name of the workgroup is irrelevant). Ok out and answer yes when asked to restart the PC. When the machine comes back up, log in as the local administrator again and go back to network properties. Add the machine back to the domain, and make sure you click the box that says "Create a computer account in the domain". Then in the boxes enter in the username and password of a DOMAIN administrator and hit ok. You should see a popup thats says Welcome to the XXXXXX Domain! (where XXXXXX is what you called your domain). After that you will be prompted to restart the PC. Answer Yes and the next time NT comes up to the login screen try logging on to the domain instead of the local computer. Hope this helps, -=Michael
