Re: Remote Desktop Connection installation

I'm attempting to set up RDP in a windows xp pro environment. There is a
windows 2000 domain controller on the network. I've setup rdp on a few of the
xp pro machines and I get "The local policy of this system does not allow you
to log on locally".
I've modified the security policy on the machines to allow log on locally.
I've done the same thing on the domain controller in the domain security
policy. I've also added users to the rdp users group locally on the machines.
I still get the same log on message. I've done this before with no problem in
windows xp rpo/ win 2003 server environments.What have I missed?
Thanks in advance.
