Local security policy prevents remote connection

When attempting to log in via Remote Desktop Connection, all users
(Administrators, Remote Users, everyone) get the following message: "Local
security policy on this system does not allow you to logon interactively."
And yes, remote desktop is enabled. (I suspect I messed something up
playing around with security policies in mmc. If so, is there a quick way
to get back to the original state?)
 
Very interesting. Can you try the following vbs script to see if it help?
Save it as ResPerm.vbs, open cmd, goto the folder that contains ResPerm.vbs,
then type cscript ResPerm.vbs

Set Obj =
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").InstancesOf("Win32_TS
PermissionsSetting")
For each Terminal in Obj
result = Terminal.RestoreDefaults()
Next


Thanks

Are you still facing the problem?? If so try this.

In your host i.e XP pro, Go to Adminstrative tools and
then open "local security settings". Go to "Local
Policies", double click log on locally and add your
account. this should work fine.

From a prior posting:
Have you check the user rights assignment? The Remote Desktop Users
local group (or the security group containing the people you want to
enable access) needs to be specified under "Allow logon through
Terminal Services".
