I have an NT 4.0 server SP6 setup as a standalone server attached to our local domain. I can logon to our local domain as administrator with no problem. But I can not logon to our corp. domain. I get an error that states "The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively".

This is the only server we have setup as stand alone, all other servers are setup as BDC's and one PDC for our local domain.

How do I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

You need to logon as the local adiministrator. Go to User manager for domains and add the account from the Corp domain to the appropriate group (depending on how much rights you want that user to have)for the local box. After you add the domain useraccount to a group for the server you will be able to login without error.

I sort of agree with the last user. You need to log onto the machine with a user that has local admin priveleges. Once this has been accomplished you need to open User manager and select the current "\\Machine name" as the server to connect with.
Go to "Policy:User Rights" and select "Show advanced user rights" checkbox. Traverse the list until you find log on locally and add the user account you want to use with this machine.
Another way is you can add the user account into the Local Admin group on this machine.
