Here is my scenario:
I have upgraded my Lan workstations from 2000 to XP with no problem.I activated the remote desktop feature in sytem properties and selected remote users to log on which would only include myself since I am the Admin.When I attempt to log in to the workstations via remote, I get the log on screen, I type the admin name and pw but get the following error: The local policy of this system does not permit you to log on interactively. Any suggestions!!!

On these XP boxes, try opening up Local Security Policy (under Administrative Tools).
And expand to Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment.
Check in there. I'd make sure your account can Log In Locally, can Access This Computer From The Network, can Allow Logons Through Terminal Services, and is NOT in the Deny Logon Through Terminal Services right.

I added the administrator group to allow log on thru terminal services and it worked. Thank you.
