Logon failure: user account restriction. Error Message
in [IIS]
|
From: Ken Schaefer on 13 Dec 2005 04:41 Hi, On Windows XP, by default, you can not logon remotely (e.g. using a Network logon) if your user account does not have a password. You need to identify which of <blank password> or <logon type not permitted> is denying you access to the machine.
