Administrator denied logon via remote desktop connection

Greetings,

Administrator is denied logon from xp workstation to windows server 2003 when trying to use remote desktop connection.

The error message is: This system does not permit you to logon interactively.

Now this used to work. Now it does not. Not sure what changed. Help.

I have made certain that the administrator is added to the remote desktop users group and that Remote desktop connection is enabled.

One more thing, I can add any other user to the remote desktop connection group and that user can sucessfully logon from the workstation to the server.

Thanks in advance.

-Kevin

 

Domain network structure or workgroups?

Administrator - you mean a local admin on the XP workstation or a domain admin?

 

Is this an SBS server?

You will need to check all the groups the Administrator is a member of directly and the Administrators as well. Then check the Domain Controller Security Policy snapin for the Deny Logon Locally and Deny Logon through terminal Services. A deny will override an explicit allow.

 

yeah...its working now. This is a domain structure and a standard server.

We had exceded our license's in the license manager. Thanks for the help!

 

Were there any hints in event viewer?

 

of course there were events of license violation. Linking the two together was not. fix one, fixes both? it seemed to work.
