Re: URGENT - Can't Log On to SBS2003 box

Hi Joel,

So which memberships had the administrator? As there must be a group which
doesn't belong there and prevents you from login on locally.

Thanks - logging on remotely worked a treat!

If you disabled the external NIC, internal one should still be

Try connecting to RDP from any PC on the local network.

Also, to check the group membership for an administrator account from
any PC
on the network, install Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack on
any
computer running Windows XP.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply. I know it sounds a bit strange, but that is
seriously the only thing it could have been!

We have tried to log on locally with the admin account and a few
different users, but get the same message every time. We cant log on
via remote desktop as the nic has been disabled!!

Hi, Joel.

The message means the user is not allowed to logon interactively, but
I
somehow can't think of any way disabling the NIC could reasult in
such an
error.
Could you please provide more details:

1) Have you tried to logon both locally (using keyboard attached to
the
server machine) and Remote Desktop?
2) If the account you are trying to logon is in Administrators or
Domain
Admins groups?

Regards,
Jevgenij

We have a newly installed SBS2003 box that was working fine until I
disabled the external nic over the weekend (by accident) whilst
logged
on as admin from home via remote desktop.

It now won't let anyone log on locally - it says "the local policy
of
this system does not allow you to log on interactively", so I can't
log on to re-enable the disabled adapter!

Can anyone provide any help - I can't think of anything other than
a
fresh install but don't really want to do that.
