Is the question "When I try to logon to the server I get this message?"

You must login as an administrator and specifically grant login rights to users before they can logon to the server. This is done on a per user basis.

No, this is the admin logging on too the PDC of the domain,you can get in on the local server.

This can occur if you are trying to log on to a workstation with a domain user ID that does not have any local logon rights. You need to log on to the workstation with the local Administrator ID and add the domain user(s) who need to log on locallyto the appropriate local groups (i.e., Users, Power Users, etc.), or at least give them local logon rights through the Policies tab in User Manager. Hope this helps!

Did someone rename the original administrator account and create a new account called "Administrator" with no rights?

It seems a problem with admin account on that Server.
Do you have another Server on the Domain?
If yes please try to login to the second Serve, and try to open User Managers for domain, under user, use sellect domain and put the \\Server name thatyou have problem with.
Check the admin account that you have, is it correct or not.

The above could be made also from a W/S, but you should log in as Administrator and create a short cut to USRMGR..

Try this it could help.

Open User Manager For Domain; go to Tools and select User Rights, check the box Advance User Rights: set that log policy and rights to the user name who want to log in locally.

Not really an answer, just a mini-rant.

You are much more likely to get the answer to you problem if you provide more than an error message as your question. What were you trying to do? Be specific. I don't care about the points. Just don't ask us to volunteer our time trying to figure out the question.
