Logon Locally No Longer Appears in Logon Choices on Domain Controller VIA Remote Desktop

Hi All,
I have noticed that the ability to logon locally to any of our domain
controllers (windows 2003 native) is no longer available via remote desktop.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Thank You,
yukon727

Hello yukon727,

If it was possible before, find the changes done in your GPO's about "Allow
logon locally". What account are you using and what is the complete error
message you get when your try it?

Best regards

This is expected. When you made them domain controllers the local accounts
databases are removed.

Hello Dave,

Thought that he means to logon to the DC via RDP is not possible any longer.
Ofcourse you are right, that logon to the local computer is not longer available.

Best regards

Hi Meinolf,
We are using Domain accounts to access the servers locally and the Domain
Admins group is a member of the local admins on the DC's.
This problem was reported by another DA and after researching the issue I
think I know what happened.
When a server is promoted to a DC the logon locally option is removed from
the logon dropdown.
What I think happened in our case was that somehow the "Default Domain" was
not selected in the dropdown by default and this showed the empty white
space in the logon to field.
I used GPO to implement the following defaultdomain.adm file, link it to the
domain and ensure that the default domain is always selected.

CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY !!Logon
CATEGORY "Logon Settings"
KEYNAME "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"
POLICY "Default Domain"
PART "Default Domain" EDITTEXT
VALUENAME "DefaultDomainName"
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
END CATEGORY
[strings]
Logon="Default domain selection"

Thank You for your help,
Shawn
