"The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively"

This happened after someone made some changes to their group membership and locked themselves out of everything. You can't be a member of EVERYTHING in the list.

Rule of thumb here is DENY always overrules ALLOW.

He couldn't log in locally anymore, or remotely for that matter.
"The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively"
Turns out this person had been playing and added him to a group that was denied permission to log in locally.

This just may be the case in your event. If so then check the group membership for such a person. Or maybe Group Policies.

Here is a link that may help:

Or maybe you can try this one.
Start
Run
secpol.msc

Navigate to “Local Policies”, then select “User Rights Assignment”.
Find “Allow logon through Terminal Services”. Check and make sure that “Administrators” and “Remote Desktop Users” are in the list. If they aren’t, click “Add User or Group”, and add the user.
Apply and Test

Runonce page will not go away.

No matter how you got to this point is irrelevant but what is, is how to get rid of this cracker.

When you open Internet Explorer 7 you either get a blank page or just won't go away no matter how many times you save your settings.
Maybe you see an error that says:
Line 56 Char:2 Error: Element not found Code: 0URL:http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2aspx ARRRRGGGGG....

Thank God for programmers and people smarter than myself to figure this annoyance out.

Click here to "Fix this problem "

If that doesn't work, you will have to do it manually, which is how I had to do this serveral times before with other client machines.
Open Regedit & got to:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]"RunOnceHasShown"=dword:00000001"RunOnceComplete"=dword:00000001

As usual, we are not responsible for anything you take into your own hands, and yada...yada...yada.

How to span Remote Desktop across multiple monitors

"Remote Desktop Connection supports high-resolution displays that can be spanned across multiple monitors. The monitors must be the same resolution and aligned side by side. To have the remote computer's desktop span multiple monitors, type Mstsc /span at a command prompt.


NoteThis feature is sometimes called continuous resolution. To toggle in and out of full-screen spanned mode, press CTRL+ALT+BREAK."

Outlook error, freezing

We could not check the message you are trying to open for viruses because the virus check engine reported an error. To open the unchecked message check OK.

I fixed this by simply disabling all the add-ins and is working fine now.

This was occuring in Outlook 2003.
