Ok I have a win2k server which I cannot log into.

The error I get is "The local policy of this system does not allow you to log on interactively".

Its a server ion a local school, 3 or 4 people have admin access and ive been called in as they are now unable to get into the server.

Has anyone got any idea's on how to salvage this?

Any help appreciated.

Try starting it up in safe mode and see if any new progs have been installed, or try restoring to a point when it was ok

I cant physically log into the server, i get the same login error in safe mode.

Rolling back to last successfull login doesnt work either.

Looking more and more like a format and re-install :(

Thanks but something has gone ti*s up here, cant log into the pc at all.

So cant alter the Local policy (unless you know a way through regedit?)

Looks like a Format and start again.

I had this issue on a Win2K workstation. It operated fine until I joined a domain. Since I don't own Netdom I reloaded the OS.

try to short circuit your cmos/bios battery. it works in my xp os.

you should try this and tell me if it works in win2k.

If you have the 'deny local login' implemented in group ploicy for the domain that your server is in, that might be a problem. I have run into that issue before.
