Re: Unable to login to SBS Server

Hi Les

Tried this & got exactly the same problem so not sure where to go from here,
do you think it could be a group policy error/problem even though they do
not use at this site?

What happens if you create another user account, using the Administrator
template?

Does this new account work properly?

Hi Les

Thanks for your input but I have checked & followed various guides to
resolve this issue & double checked that the administrator is not part of
certain security groups. I've even tried removing the administrators
account from all of the groups & readded one by one but to no avail.

I may have to bite the bullet & call MS for a solution

This is often caused by the Administrator account being added to
security groups that it shouldn't be added to. Like remote users group,
for example.

Hi

I am hoping someone can help as this is really causing us some concern,
shall I start at the beginning

1) We were asked to look at a SBS 2003 server & found that the group
policy has somehow been altered & we decided to do a complete
re-install of the system. We did a standard install & everything
appeared to be running correctly for about the last month or so we
thought, though we had not rebooted the server at all since we rebuilt
it.

2) As this company had no backup device we purchased & shut the server
down & then fitted backup device & brought server up only to find we
could not login to the SBS server using the admin UID & PWD. I started
to panic at this stage as the error given is as follows:-

"the local policy of this system does not allow you to logon
interactively"

After checking for this error I followed this guide

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841188

did not work for me though from the article above I found it was
possible to login to the SBS via RDP & I could use the admin UID &
PWD!!

even though I could login the via RDP the problems don't end there as
if I try to run a program using the "run as" command I receive an error
advising
:-

"Logon Failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type
at this computer"

I guess this is because the administrator cannot log on so I then
checked the local policy by running secpol.msc and then checked
Security Settings->Local Policies->User Rights Assignment->Log on
Locally

the administrator is already there though I did note that you can not
add/remove any groups

I then checked the Domain Controller Security Policy & checked that the
administrator was allowed to "log on locally" & it is there so I am a
little stumped as to the cause & was hoping someone has been through
this before who can assist

Thanks in advance

Paul
