You cannot log on because the method you are using is not allowed on this computer. Please see your network administrator for more detail
i am able to access the server but only through RDP right now.
Doing a search I found and implemented the following with no success (server is set up correctly)
You cannot log on because the logon method you are using is not allowed on this computer
Symptom: When trying to logon a computer using non administrator ID, you may receive this message: "You cannot log on because the logon method you are using is not allowed on this computer. Please see you network administrator for more details."
Case 1: Group Policy' "Allow log on locally" was not setup to allow users or domain users. To setup allow users or domain users to logon the computer or domain, you need to add the users or domain users to the "Allow log on locally". Please follow these steps to add the users.
1. Run gpedit.msc. 2. Expand Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies 3. Click on User Rights Assignment 4. Ensure that "Allow log on locally" includes Administrators, Backup Operators, Domain Users or Users.
Case 2: Group Policy' "Deny log on locally" was setup to deny users or domain users. To setup allow users or domain users to logon the computer or domain locally, "Deny log on locally" should be empty or no users or domain users in the list. Please follow these steps to remove the users or domain users from the "Deny log on locally".
1. Run gpedit.msc. 2. Expand Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies 3. Click on User Rights Assignment 4. Ensure that "Deny log on locally" is empty.
No admins are able to logon currently (we have 3), so it appears to be not just me that is locked out.
Thanks in advance for any help you could provide
