Problem with local policy while connecting to a terminal server

Hi all,

I would have posted this under win2003 terminal services .. but there
is no such group, but I figured this was as good.

I have win2003 standard server (MachineA) into which I normally connect
remotely via terminal services. I normally use the administrator
account, which worked fine. This was until we intalled SBS, on another
machine(MachineB), and added MachineA to the domain. I was then still
able to logon to terminal services, but only with the domain admin
account, not the machine local admin account. When I try and logon with
MachineA's local account, I get the infamous "The local policy of this
system does not permit you to logon interactively." message.

I have subsequently removed "MachineA" from the domain, and switched
off the SBS server (it was causing DNS problems which I didn't have
time to sort out). We re-instated the old DHCP/DNS server, and
everything else seems to be working, except that we still cannot logon
to MachineA via TS, receiving the same error blurb about local
policies.

I have checked the local security policy of MachineA and the
administrator group is still included under "Allow logon through
termincal services". I even tried to add the administrator user
directly without any success.

I'm guessing that adding "MachineA" to the domain has messed with
something, as this was when the problem started, the question is ..
"WHAT".

Please help, this is getting nasty, and I think I'm about to be lynched
by the developers, as this is a server they access regularily.

Robert
