In an effort to learn, I've installed win2k AS on my machine at home. I have been messing with the security auditing features and found I am having a lot of Anonymous Logons.

To try to resolve the issue I began looking through all the securitysnap-ins. I came across the Security Templates and decided to install one and see what it did. Unfortunatly, I can't even remember which template I used. I rebooted shortly after adding the template and am now denied access at the Logon on any acount I've added. I've tried Admin and guest. The Error says I am noy allowed to logon Interactivly.

I have 98 on another partition and none of the drives are NTFS. I am wondering if there is a way I can restore or erase the security settings I changed. I tried Rebooting to the last known good config, but it didn't find anything wrong with the current one ;D

Thanks,
Brian

Take a look at M$ Technet Article q285548...looks like you can replace the %systemroot%\security\database\secedit.sdb file with one that's not overly restrictive and get access back.

Exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure that was the first place I searched for help. Guess I need to work on my search skills. Thanks.
