I've made a mess of something in Group Policy Management.
I was trying to change policy settings so that a specific
set of Users can login via terminal services.

Now, whenever I try to logon to the server console as
administrator, I get a message 'The local policy of this
machine does not allow you to logon interactively'

The 'Allow logon locally' setting includes administtors,
So I don't understand what is wrong. Fortunately, I have
another user account which is in the administators group.
This user can log on OK. Anyone any ideas?

A user can be prevented from logging on locally either because:

a- they are not a member of a group or a user specified to have that right.
b-the are a member of a group or a user specified to be DENY for that right.

Two different rights involved.

I you have another Domain Admins account, you can inspect the root
Administrator account for membership, then examine the Default Domain
Controller policy to see what that is set for. If you don't find the cause
that way, then use the Local Security Policy MMC console to examine at the
SBS what the local policy is, and if it's different than the Default Domain
Controller policy.

In SBS 2003, you can also use the RSOP features in the console to see what
policies are accumulated at the folder that contains the SBS.

I've tried to be brief here, so if this isn't enough information, post back
whatever you understand or don't and I can try to make this a little more
detailed in that area.

As a best practice, you should avoid playing with the Default Domain or
Default Domain Controller policies if possible. However, in the case of
Logon Locally with the SBS, you have no choice.

That KB illustrates an example of joining the Admin account to a group that
has Deny set for the Group.

We've obviously done it enough times in SBSland for a KB to be written ;-)
