Problem in logging in
hello
I have windows 2000 server installed. my problem is that whevever i try to logon as administrator then it gives message as
"The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively"
I can logon as other user but i can't logon as administrator. As i can't logon as administrator i can do anything in group policy. how to solve above problem. Since the machine has ADS configured i can't logon on that machine locally. what's the problem . it is becoming very difficult to change any settings as administrative logon is barred. i can logon from win98 machine with administrator user but not on domain controller.
Please Help.
Thanks in advance.
Some questions:
Is there any account you can use to logon to the DC?
Do you have a W2k pro (or XP) workstation that is member of the domain to which you can logon as domain administrator?
Do you have the W2k Resource Kit?

The problem here is, however, is that you have restricted your administrator account. Unless you have ANOTHER account in the admin group that you can use, you're "hosed" and will need to re-install Windows.
If you can get into the recovery console you may be able to this this:

Alternatively, you could install a parallel copy of Windows, logon, and perform the above procedure on that copy.
Good luck, this is a nasty situation.
