Since this problem has no relation to terminal Services (you can't
log on to the physical console either), I would repost in another
newsgroup to get more help.
I assume that you try to logon to the console with a Domain
Administrator account? If that is the case and you still get this
error message, I think you have to demote the server again to a
member server to gain access to it.
Or: troubleshoot from the pdc. Enable full auditing of security
events, check the EventLog on the server (should be possible to do
that remotely, I think), doublecheck all your Group Policies and
account restrictions.

Post by stevehHave tried that already no joy.
Just to recap this is a brand new server that has just been
promoted to a DC, after rebooting cannot get access at all from
console or remote logins
the error "does not permit you logon interactively" appears.
All other dc's on network are ok as indeed is the pdc, I really
don't want to rebuild it..
Anyone got any ideas plse advise
Thanks Steve
