Remote desktop connection

Dec 7, 2003 12:35PM PST

Ive been trying to get the remote desktop connection on xp to work but I keep getting the error saying the local policy doesnt allow me to logon interactively. So far Ive added myself to the remote user group and I tried logging on remotely as the administrator. Any ideas?

Just figured it out

I needed to go to the local security policy and "allow logon through terminal services". Took about 2 hours of searching to get that figured out.
