Can't Logon Interactively even with Admin pwd

Hi,
when I'm trying to login into win2k server I've received the msg, "the local policy for this system does not permit you to logon interactively" even i'm using the administrator password.
The server i'm trying to login is the domain controller that is responsible for the domain operations, infrastructure and other things. It's locked and i have another server that i can login normally, I tried ntrights.exe remotely using the server that is not in problem but no solution although i got the msg telling me that granting login locally to administrator is successful. I used telnet to run ntrights.exe locally on the server in prob, i succeseeded to run the command but and received the msg of successful operation but yet also no resolution and the msg is still there.
I don't know what to do?
Please help

Excellent llyquid, although I've solved my problem before reading your comment. Actually the problem was that i defined the "Deny logon locally" for the domain controller, and added some perceding groups that the administrator is member of it by default. So i had to remove this policy.
Thanks anyway
