(SOLVE) The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively

Thursday, August 15, 2013 By Unknown

This error indicates that the group policy of the terminal server does not allow you to logon interactively. The settings will have to be changed from the group policy object editor by your administrator.

To do this, open gpedit.msc and navigate to the following section:

Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment

and after double clicking on the “Allow Log on Locally” from the Policy list, choose the user that you want to grant local log on access to and press OK. The image below indicates which section must be clicked on.

You do not have access to logon to this session.

The error message below means that you do not have access to logon to the terminal services session because your account has not been given the effective permissions from the terminal services manager on the server.

To correct this, open the Terminal Services Configuration, double click the RDP option in the main window and go to the permissions tab. Select Add and choose your account before pressing OK and assigning the right permissions to that account. Now attempt to logon again with that user account.
