I believe the actual problem is in effective settings of the policy. I
assume you have edited "Deny Logon Locally" settings in local security
policy on these PCs. However, in Default Domain Policy this setting is also
defined, and the list is empty. Since domain policies override local
policies, the effective setting is that noone is denied local (interavtive)
logon privilege.
So yes, you have to edit domain policy. In fact, it would be a good idea to
create a policy specially for that purpose, define the setting(s) in that
policy, and apply it to all required computer accounts.
