The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively – Case Study

Situation: the client can logon his XP Pro using his username but he receives “The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively” message if you logon using administrator.

Troubleshooting:

1. The Remote Desktop is enabled and administrator is allowed to access.
2. The administrator is listed on “Log on Locally” under Group Policy.
3. The administrator can logon from the console.
4. Finally, we find the administrator is added to “Deny logon through Terminal Services”. To remove the administrator from the “Deny logon through Terminal Services”, please follow these steps: 1) Run group Policy (gpedit.msc). 2) go to Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policy>User Rights and Assignment. 3) Double-click on the “Deny logon through Terminal Services”. 4) Highlight the administrator account and click Remove.
