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

I am assuming that the box you can't log on interactively is the NT Workstation. Go into User Manager and under the user rights you can assign the rights to log on interactively to groups of users. I had this problem one time and What I had to do was add user accounts from the Domain to the local user groups. I am not sure if this makes since but, the answer to your question is in User Manager.

Yes Robbie,the box in question is the NT4 Workstation,I'lll try what you said,thanks for your help. RB

You need to assign "Log on locally" rights to the everyone group or the group the user you are trying to log on is in. This is in user rights on user manager. This one has gotten many of us at one time or another. Good luck

The problem in my case is that I can't log on to the workstation to make the changes prescribed above. My win2kpro workstation all of a sudden doesn't let me log on. Not to the local account nor to the domain account. Also it is unavailable from the network. I can't believe there is nothing that can be done about this. It doesn't claim that I can't log in as administrator, but rather that I can't log in as administrator "interactively". Whey then can I not log in remotely as the local Administrator?

I have exactly the same problem with win2KPro. Any way to get again into win2K without reinstalling it over?
