    I don't know what I exactly did, but somehow I am prevented from not only
    logging on as an Admin, but under my own user name. The message I get is:
    "The local policy of the system does not permit you to logon interactively.
    I did a search on the Knowledge Base and did have info returned, but I
    accidently closed the results and now when I search again, I don't get the
    same results.

    I did see a similar post so I downloaded the Windows Server 2003 Resource
    Kit and tried a few things under ntrights, but I don't believe it will work
    from my laptop.

     Here is some background.

    Windows 2000 Pro NTFS Networked as a workgroup.

    Replaced current hd due to failure of other.

    Was in the process of trying to get back my ability to network from my
    laptop (Windows XP NTFS) back to my desktop.

    Was able to get reverse connection Desktop to Laptop, but can't from Laptop
    to Desktop through windows.

    Prior to goof, could log on as Admin w/password; could not logon with own
    username / password SO

    Open windows security to verify I had logon locally privileges. Made a few
    changes, some I remember:
    Renamed Administrator Account
    Disabled Guest Account
    Audit the access of global system objects to - Enabled
    Do not display last user name - Enabled
    Changed number of Logon cached from 10 to 5
    I do not think I denied anyone to log on locally, but may have added Guest.
    I do not think I change anything with requiring Domain Controller
    authentication to unlock workstation as I don't have a domain controller,
    just a workgroup
    I may have changed: Do not allow anonymous enumerations of SAM accounts
    and/or Shares. May have changed both to enabled.

    Any help in correcting this problem would greatly be appreciated.

    If worse comes to worse I guess I can reinstall Windows 2000 Pro. I did make
    a ERD yesterday, so I could apply this after the install and because of my
    other hd failure I do have data backups.
