Remote Desktop inoperarble after in-place upgrade

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

We have upgraded a number of machines in a domain from
Win2k to XP SP1. The machines function perfectly except
that the Remote desktop tool does not work - the error
is "the local policy of this machine does not allow you to
log in interactively". Other XP machines that have been
built from scratch work fine. We have modified the local
policies on the non-working machines to allow remote
connections, but this makes no difference.

Any help/suggestions would be gratefully received.

whay that policy does not get propogated during the
upgrade ?

New group policy templates are not automatically included when an
upgrade is done...
