I have a windows 2000 server and windows xp sp2 client machines. This problem comes only in one client machine. The problem is that only administrator of domain can log onto machine and when domain user tries to login message comes "the local policy of this computer does not permit you to logon interactively"
I have checked the local security policy under administrative tools.The option log on locally is disablled, not matter if i login thru local administrator or domain administrator.
Secondly in windows 2000 server when we check entire network the list of computer that are login to domain is visible , if one of the computer goes offline the list under domain name still shows the computer and doesnt refresh automatically untill we restart the server.
Please help in this regard
Thanks

Logon locally should not be disabled. It should contain a list of users who are allowed to logon locally. Add "Users" to this.
As far as Network neighborhood not refreshing autimatically, it's not designed to.

That is true, make sure 'Users' as a group have permissions to logon locally.Also check that the box is added to the domain from the server.

Even if the local security policy is disabled,this is not at all required.Log on as administrator,add the particular user to the administrator's group,as the user has no right to logon to the machine.Logoff & relogin by the users login,it will definetely work.

I am guessing that the option to add or change this policy is disabled. This will be the case if it is pushed down by a domain policy. check that First.
