Have you tried logging on as a local administrator and a domain administrator?

<div>
Not sure how to log on as a domain administrator, the only choice I have to logon is as Administrator.<br />
<br />
I'll have a look at the Group Policy Management Console and see what policies are set up.<br />
<br />
Thanks

In an effort to assist me, one of my staff changed a policy setting on our 2008 Standard Server using gpedit.msc<br />
<br />
The setting changed was Windows settings / Local policies / User Rights Assignment / Allow Logon Through terminal Services<br />
<br />
He changed this to Administrator and now as a consequence, none of the terminal services users can access the system. I cannot set it back as it appears to be locked.<br />
<br />
I am logged on as the administrator and have tried running gpedit.msc as the administrator but no luck. <br />
<br />
I would appreciate assistance as I have 20 users coming in the morning and they can't access their system.
