       You need to check the "log on localy" user right on those computers
and add the appropriate users/group. It sounds like you might be using
Terminal Services on a domain controller. Check the "effective" setting for
the user right under Local Security Policy. Local Security Policy can be
overriden by domain/domain controller/OU security policy however. Make the
change at the appropriate level. See KB article link. --- Steve
