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?

Posssibly. Somebody might have dorked up the template. On the new user
properties, click the "member of" tab and list the groups the new users has
membership.

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
