Win Xp Home Logon Failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon type - Page 2

JeffInMass · 05-16-2006, 08:30 AM

I did what QtoTheBall suggested and it works for about 5 minutes. I now have to do those commands every time I want to print or access a file on my XP machine. I run AdAware and AOL spyware regularly, and eTrust AV. Any suggestions?

edelenva · 05-23-2006, 07:04 AM

THANKS SO MUCH QtoTheBall!!! Your solution worked just as you discribed. I have been trying to solve this issue for quite a while and finally it's fixed!

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.

Thanks very much! However, I have two XPs on my network and it helped only one.

I found out another solution for my other one and hopefully it will help others still struggling out there:

1. Under run, type regedit.exe (the .exe is important)
2. When the registry editor appears, click HKEY(or hklm)_LOCAL_MACHINE.
3. Open the subfolder System.
4. Open Control inside System.
5. Click, don't open, Lsa, inside Control. You should see many registries on the right.
6. On the right, double-click restrictanonymous. (NOT restrictanonymoussam)
7. Value Data should be a 0. Base should be Hexadecimal.
8. Close out of the regedit.exe
9. Restart the computer.
10. Try to access the computer over the network when the computer fully boots up.

Let me know if this helped anyone.

QtoTheBall, thank you very much for your fix to my problem. It works!!!! I don't know how the problem occurred (if it was a virus, Trojan, malware, or hack) but your solution worked. You are Great! This Web Site is Great!

caraudioboy5 · 06-28-2006, 10:08 PM

Qtotheball or anyone who knows what this cmd promt server fix thing really does.

i used Qtotheball's fix on my host computer on my network which is running two xp computers that will only share one way. im still having the same problem i was before i used this fix, but know when i ping the computer that was having the problems the request times out. before using this fix it was at least receiving packets. does anybody know how to reverse this fix or just fix what it has done.

thanks
brian

The command you ran runs on windows xp home edition, probably some other versions like pro, but I don't think it runs on win2k, (the os you have listed on your profile). So that is why you now get a different mesage. To undo what has been done is fairly simple (I think), you should be able to work it out by what message you got when you typed it in, if you can list thoughs as a reply to this message I should be able to help you fix it.

OMG I LOVE YOU! Qto suggestion didn't work! Yours did! Wooo!

jstuppy · 09-13-2006, 10:08 AM

QtoTheBall

Your fix worked! I don't know what happened...I had a second computer I could print to and then one day it just stopped working. Using the tool and script you suggested I was able to see the properties for that printer on the 2nd computer finally. So far so good!

I noticed that there were several things in the print queue and there was an error printing on the first one. Tried deleting it and the 2nd showed a print error. Did the Windows built-in printer troubleshooting and got to the step where you try to print from a command prompt. Something like "echo hello CTRL-L..." etc. It printed! (despite the things in the queue). Then the troubleshooting wizard suggested checking the ports. The port for that printer was set to DOT4 or DOT04 -- something like that. I switched it to LPT1 and hit "Apply" and now everything prints...old and new.

I have no idea what happened from one day to the next and what things were going on in that 2nd system that caused things to get out of whack. But I can access the 2nd computer's printer now, it prints, and I'm happy!

I have tried EVERYTHING on this thread...nothing is breaking for me. Its driving me up the wall. I've searched high and low for something to work. Its the same for me I can get onto everyone elses computer..but they cant get on mine! I should definitly have no virus or spyware, I just had it professionaly cleaned. The only thing I can think of is maybe I can reinstall EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN!! I feel a migraine coming on.

screaminfiero · 09-17-2006, 03:14 AM

Ok, I lied...I have tried everything in here by itself, but I havent tried everything combined...I GOT IT WORKING, OMG...I seriously cannot believe how NOT userfriendly XP really is. I think I'd prefer 2000, or 98 over xp anyday. But hey thanks for your help.

Sue55 · 09-17-2006, 10:36 AM

Bloody marvellous QToTheBall - I've been struggling with this problem forever.

Now - can anyone tell me how to 'see' the contents of all the folders I have 'shared' and not just the contents of my 'Shared Documents'? I have given all the necessary permissions but access is denied in all directions (I have 3 computers on my home network). I'd be grateful for any suggestions...

snog · 09-28-2006, 05:08 AM

FOUND IT!
Ok, same problem as everyone else.....
2 computers, one laptop, both XP Pro
Dell to laptop, can't access
Laptop to Dell, no problem

I do not want to download scripts from MS from 2003...
SOLUTION:
Start/Control Panel/Administrative tools/Local Security Policy
1. Security options/Network access: CHANGE to classic, users logon as themselves
2. User Rights Assignment: Access this computer from the netowork: add (by typing) "Administrators"

This works if the user (me!) is admin on both machines. Haven't fully tried if it works yet, but sure do get access both ways for the first time since I started trying, yihaaa.
I've spent hours and hours trying to fix this, reading all forums on the net....

Good luck, hope it works for you.

LOL Go the mac, much better, rarely crashes if at all.
Never locks you out of files, or network shares...unless you want it to.
and the intel versions can run windows LOL.

johnwill · 09-29-2006, 05:12 PM

I guess that's why the Mac has 95% of the market.

No, wait! That's the inferior Windows machines. I wonder how that could happen?

I have two PC's both running XP Home. The setting restrictanonymous to "0" worked for one of the machines. However, the other machine changed restrictanonymous back to "1" by itself when restarted. I ran McAfee Antivirsus, but no virus found. Any suggestions how to prevent this? Thanks!

This worked for me just this minute, after 2 weeks of surfing to no avail, so I joined TSF just to send my thanks. Well done buddogan. Sorry, QtoTheBall, yours didn't work. Great site, I'll be back.

Hi all,
I'm using Win XP Pro and I had the same problem, i.e. getting the err msg "Logon Failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer", but with a printer, and I found my answer in this forum.
Here is what I did to solve the issue on the computer hosting the share:
1>I enabled guest account on the computer where the share was hosted
2>I removed the "guest" entry from
