rogue local policy

[Guest Corky D]

I was advised to try this group. I have a client who has SBS 2003 r2. On the

VP's workstation, he downloaded

a cutesy screen saver. Then he removed it. Damage done! He now cant remote

into his workstation. Error message is that the local policy wont permit it!

I have logged on locally as admin and cant turn off windows firewall (greyed

out), which somehow got turned on. Ran all the virus and spyware scans.

Nothing. The remote exception is enabled. I think I might have to wipeout

his workstation and re-install. Not what I want to do. Any suggestions?

Thank You, Corky
