Logon Locally No Longer Appears in Logon Choices on Domain Controller VIA Remote Desktop

 

Hi All,

I have noticed that the ability to logon locally to any of our domain

controllers (windows 2003 native) is no longer available via remote desktop.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Thank You,

yukon727

Hello yukon727,

 

If it was possible before, find the changes done in your GPO's about "Allow

logon locally". What account are you using and what is the complete error

message you get when your try it?

 

Best regards

This is expected. When you made them domain controllers the local accounts

databases are removed.

Hello Dave,

 

Thought that he means to logon to the DC via RDP is not possible any longer.

Ofcourse you are right, that logon to the local computer is not longer available.

 

Best regards

Hi Meinolf,

We are using Domain accounts to access the servers locally and the Domain

Admins group is a member of the local admins on the DC's.

This problem was reported by another DA and after researching the issue I

think I know what happened.

When a server is promoted to a DC the logon locally option is removed from

the logon dropdown.

What I think happened in our case was that somehow the "Default Domain" was

not selected in the dropdown by default and this showed the empty white

space in the logon to field.

I used GPO to implement the following defaultdomain.adm file, link it to the

domain and ensure that the default domain is always selected.

 

CLASS MACHINE

CATEGORY !!Logon

CATEGORY "Logon Settings"

KEYNAME "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"

POLICY "Default Domain"

PART "Default Domain" EDITTEXT

VALUENAME "DefaultDomainName"

END PART

END POLICY

END CATEGORY

END CATEGORY

[strings]

Logon="Default domain selection"

 

Thank You for your help,

Shawn
