RE: Can't set Local Security policies. They fail to save



Jenny Hi there and thanks for all the help.

I followed your instructions on applying the predefined security templates.
I also ran the gpupdate.exe /force. the administrator account still can't
connect to serverThe local policies are still set as before.

The user accounts are back online but unfortunately the administrative
account still can’t connect to server from client computers. It still gives
the error "Logon Failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon
type at this computer".

I still can’t set any of the local security policies on the server box. It
still fails to save giving the error message "An extended error has occurred.
Failed to save". I have e-mailed the group policy report and the system and
security logs from the server box to you.

Regards
