I am running Server 2003 on 2 machines. &nbsp;Both are DC's I have given an OU rights to log on locally as well as through terminal services in both the domain security policy and the domain security policy. Still only my admins can log in. The problem is only on the newer DC and not the original. Also, if i try to DCPromo and demote the newer server i get authentication errors even when using the admins account.<br />

Thanks for your help.

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

OS Security

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
