Hello, I tried posting this in ' microsoft.public.win2000.security ' , but
didn't recieve any responses yet. Maybe someone here has an idea for me.

We have been having a problem on our small Windows 2000 Server Domain. We
have about 15 workstations all running win2kpro. So far 3 systems have come
up with the error 'The Local Policy of This System Does Not Permit You to
Logon Interactively' when the user tries to logon. This after the systems
were working ok for over a year. It appears to start happening on some
workstations after installing Service Pack 4.

I ran the fix suggested by Microsoft in article 'Knowledge Base Article -
285793'
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;285793&Product=win2000
which involves creating a new Organizational Unit. This worked for one of
the workstations and not the other 2, so I reformatted and reinstalled W2K
from scratch, since then one of the units has started coming up with this
error again.

When this message comes up during logon, it seems impossible to logon to the
system, either using the domain or logging on to the local computer with or
without Administrator access. This is frustrating. Any idea what's causing
this, and any other solutions, short of not using Service Pack 4?

Thanks,

Jim.....
