[SOLVED] Logon failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon type at thi

[atuldpatil]

I had trouble of getting error:


"Logon failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer"


And I was just fadeup with the same. Microsoft "help" did not helped me (as usual). But this helped me:


Open local security policy:
Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
OR
Start -> Run -> "secpol.msc" <enter>
OR
Start -> Run -> "gpedit.msc" <enter> -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings


And then:


Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment


Doube click "Access this computer from the network" and check that EVERYONE is added to the list. If not add it.


I am posting this because many many guys have faced this trouble and hoping this would help them all.

Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer

If you see this message the following should be done on the computer containing the shared files:

Download the following and install it

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4544

after installation is complete, click on: Start, All Programs, Windows Resource Kit Tools, Command Shell

Then enter the following commands. (Attention: they are case sensitive.)

net user guest /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest

The first command enables network access for Guest, the two subsequent ones change two different policies to allow network access for Guest.
