Good morning to all!

Some days ago I tried to log-on to a pc which was on the same domain as mine, but it did not let me, with message:
"Local Security Policy does not allow domain users to log on to this pc" or something like that.

How can I enable this setting on my pc?

I tried Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
and then: Local Policies -> Security Options, but I could not find it.

Thanks in advance!
 
Problem is that your Administrator had allow you (in your profile at server) just login at your own computer, not to this another you trying to.
 
No, I think that it's a local setting,
because I could login to other pcs, but not that specific one!
 
If you had Administrator rights , at Domain Server ,open user manager (usrmgr.exe at WinNT, Active Directory users and Computers at WIN2003) , find your account , choose properties, and somewhere there you must find button "Log on to". There you must 1/write every computer you want to be logged on , or 2/set choice log on to all computers.
 
Sorry I did not read your answer first. So my next answer is not correct.
If it is in local settings, than I do not know at the moment...
 
Gpedit.msc will allow you to alter the local policy if you have local admin rights.

Thanks! This was it!

Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings ->
Security Settings -> Local Policies ->
User Rights Assignment:

"Log on locally"

Does anyone know of a way to put this on a registry script (reg file)?
