URGENT - Can't Log On to SBS2003 box joel[ at ]chartwellfs.com 02.07.2007 12:00:15 We have a newly installed SBS2003 box that was working fine until I disabled the external nic over the weekend (by accident) whilst logged on as admin from home via remote desktop. It now won't let anyone log on locally - it says "the local policy of this system does not allow you to log on interactively", so I can't log on to re-enable the disabled adapter! Can anyone provide any help - I can't think of anything other than a fresh install but don't really want to do that. Thanks.

The message means the user is not allowed to logon interactively, but I somehow can't think of any way disabling the NIC could reasult in such an error. Could you please provide more details: 1) Have you tried to logon both locally (using keyboard attached to the server machine) and Remote Desktop? 2) If the account you are trying to logon is in Administrators or Domain Admins groups?

Re: URGENT - Can't Log On to SBS2003 box joel[ at ]chartwellfs.com 02.07.2007 13:37:25 Thanks for the reply. I know it sounds a bit strange, but that is seriously the only thing it could have been! We have tried to log on locally with the admin account and a few different users, but get the same message every time. We cant log on via remote desktop as the nic has been disabled!!

Re: URGENT - Can't Log On to SBS2003 box "Jevgenij Martynenko" <jm[ at ]no-spam.e-idea.lt> 02.07.2007 14:02:56 If you disabled the external NIC, internal one should still be available. Try connecting to RDP from any PC on the local network. Also, to check the group membership for an administrator account from any PC on the network, install Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack on any computer running Windows XP.
