RE: Remote Desktop not working after SP1



Hi John,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup.

From your description, I understand the issue to be: remote users can not
access domain computers through RWW sit with error message "local policy of
this system does not permit you to logon interactively". If I am off base,
please don't hesitate to let me know.

Can I confirm with you that you have follow KB 886620 to add the Remote
Desktop Users group to the "Allow log on through Terminal Services" right?

"The local policy does not permit you to logon interactively" error message
when users try to connect to a Windows Small Business Server 2003-based
computer by using the Remote Desktop client
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=886620

Let us perform the following tests to isolate the issue:

I. Please verify the RWW site settings:

1. Open IIS snap-in.
2. Go to Default Web Site/Remote.
3. Right click Remote and click Properties.
4. Click Directory Security tab.
5. Click Edit under "Authentication and access control".
6. Make sure that the "Enable anonymous access" and "Integrated Windows
Authentication" have been checked.
7. Click Edit under "IP address and domain name restriction".
8. Make sure that "Granted access" has been selected.
9. Click Edit under "Secure communications".
10. Make sure that "Require secure channel (SSL)" and "Require 128-bit
encryption" have been checked.

For RWW, please also check the following settings:

1. On the server, open Server Management console, locate Users node, right
click the user account and click Properties
2. Under Terminal Services profile tab, make sure that the "Deny this user
permissions to logon to terminal server" option is uncheck.
3. Under Member Of tab, make sure that the "Remote Web Workplace Users"
group is in the list.

Then please run command "iisreset" (no quotation marks) to restart the IIS
server, then please test to connect one computer from RWW site. What is the
result?

II. If the issue persists, please check the following article to see if it
helps.

841188 "The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon
interactively" error message when you try to log on to a computer that is
running Windows Small Business Server 2003 by using an Administrator account
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=841188

III. If the issue persists, please double check the following group policy
settings:

1. Run command "gpmc.msc" (no quotation marks) to launch the Group Policy
Management, locate the Default Domain Policy, right click to choose Edit
item to open the Group Policy Object Editor.

2. Go to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local
Policies\User Rights Assignment.

3. Double click the "Access this computer from the network" policy and make
sure the following groups are listed:

Administrators
Everyone
Power Users
Users

4. Double click the "Allow logon through Terminal Services" policy and make
sure the following groups are listed:

Administrators
Remote Desktop Users

5. Check the "Deny access to this computer from the network" policy and
make sure the groups mentioned above are NOT listed.

6. Check the "Deny logon locally" policy and make sure the groups mentioned
above are NOT listed.

7. Check the "Deny logon through Terminal Services" policy and make sure
the groups mentioned above are NOT listed.

8. Check the "Log on locally" policy and make sure the following groups are
listed:

Administrators
Guest
Power Users
Users

9. Close the "Gourp Policy" window.

If you change any settings, you need run command to refresh group policy:

10. Click Start->Run, type "gpupdate /force" (without the quotes) and click
OK.

Then please test the issue again, what is the result?

If the issue persists, please help me collect ISA info and firewall log for
analyze.

Use the ISAinfo utility to collect the ISA configuration information:

a. Download the file from the following URL:
http://www.isatools.org/isainfo/ISAInfo.zip
b. Extract all files to a folder on ISA server
c. Double click Isainfo.js. This will generate 2 files
ISAInfo2004-<computer-name>.log and ISAInfo2004-<computer-name>.xml in the
current folder.
d. Please send these files to me at v-yanniw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gather the ISA Web Proxy and Firewall service logs when reproducing the
problem:

1). Enable the full Web Proxy/firewall logging option:

a. Open ISA 2004 management console.
b. Expand the server node and highlight ''Monitoring''.
c. In the right pane, switch to the ''Logging'' tab, make sure the ''Task
Pane'' is showed there.
d. In the ''Task Pane'', click ''Configure Web Proxy Logging'' under
''Logging Tasks'', and then switch the ''log storage format'' from ''MSDE
database'' (default) to ''File''.
e. Switch to the ''Fields'' tab, and then click ''Select All''.
f. Click OK, and then click ''Apply'' to save changes and update the
configuration.
g. Click ''Configure Firewall Logging''. Do step d~f to enable the full
logging options for firewall logging.

2). Prepare to take the trace:

a. Temporarily stop the Firewall service to clear the current existing W3C
logs: Monitoring->Services tab, and then right click ''Microsoft Firewall''
to choose ''Stop''.
b. Go to the log saving directory and clean any existing .W3C logs. By
default, the logs will be saved to ''C:\Program Files\Microsoft ISA
Server\ISALogs''. (Some MDF may not be able to deleted, that''s normal.)
c. Go back to the ISA 2004 management console, and then Start the stopped
''Microsoft Firewall'' service.

Reproduce the problem:
a. Go to the external client computer. Try to access the RWW web site.
b. Go back to the ISA server. Stop the ''Microsoft Firewall'' service. Open
Windows Explorer, navigate to the ISA log file folder. Collect the recent
w3c files. Save them to a zip package as ''isalogs.zip''. Start the
''Microsoft Firewall'' Service.
c. Send the zip packages to me at v-yanniw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Please compress the files and mail to my working mailbox:
v-yanniw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi,

I have just put all the compoents of SBS 2003 service pack 1 premium
(except
the SQL, as we don't run SQL).

However we can't access the remote desktops now, through remote work
space.
We can logon to the remote workspace, and choose which client PC top
connect
to, but when the user logs we get an error: "local policy of this system
does
not permit you to logon interactively".

I re ran the Internet connection wizard, and confirmed that it is set to
allow remote desktop & remote web wrokspace.

I have checked to make sure the remote desktop users group is in the
security settings "allow logon through terminal services" (as KB ID 88620)
which it is, buit the problem is still there.

The administrator can access the remote desktops.

This has only started after installing the updates.
