Hi all,

I have a win2k pro system, and i am having problems logging on to the box as
administrator, when i do so i receive a message "The local policy of this
system does not permit you to log-on interactively".

Now i had a google and i found an article which stated i could use a tool
called ntrights.exe from the resource kit to reset the rights. The problem
i'm having is, as follows I created a Boot disk with NTFS read/write drivers
and when i boot from a floppy into the machine i get an error saying the exe
"cannot be run in DOS mode"

Any ideas how i can reset the local policys from the Command prompt?

Thanks in advance
Jonathan
