We have 12 computers in our SBS2003 network.
>From some moment no one except administrator can logon locally to two
workstations. One workstation is Windows2000 and another Windows XP
Professional.
All users except administrator get this error: "The local policy of this
system doesn't permit you to logon interactively".
There is no problems for all users on other computers.

I checked local policy on one of the workstations:

log on locally (read only): IUSR_SERVER, IUSR_COMPUTER, Administrators,
*S-1-5-32-548, *S-1-5-32-549, *S-1-5-32-550, Backup Operators
Deny logon locally (read only): DOMAIN\SUPPORT_388945a0, DOMAIN\SBS Remote
Operators, DOMAIN\SBS STS Worker

"Group policy results" on this computer from the Group policy management
console on server:
Allow log on locally: Print Operators, Server Operators, Acount Operators,
Backup Operators, Administrators, IUSR_SERVER (winning GPO Default
Domain Controllers Policy)
Deny logon locally: DOMAIN\SUPPORT_388945a0, DOMAIN\SBS Remote Operators,
DOMAIN\SBS STS Worker (winning GPO Default Domain Controllers Policy).

Please can you help.
Best regards

Darius
