How do I set up a console log in for an administrator on SBS 2008?
My administrator account is locked out of logging in at the server terminal because Deny Local Log On includes the SBS Remote Users group. I am unable to remove the SBS Remote Users from this group policy. Is there a way I can either:
a) enable SBS Remote Users to log on locally?
b) create a local user with admin rights (but not SBS Remote User rights)?
c) enable my administrator account to log on locally despite the implicit deny?

So you can logon to the SBS via RDP or RWW??

This was set up before I took over the client. My Administrator account can log in via RDP. I need to be able to log in at the console as I've had occasional UPS issues on site.
If you look at your account properties in AD, what groups are you a member of?

Can you create a new user for yourself using the SBS Console, assign it the network admin role.
Can you logon then?

I found the answer by researching it on a different site.
I'm curious as to why you listed mine as the accepted solution and gave zero points? If you didn't think it of any help, you should not have marked it as the accepted solution
