Do you have terminal server installed on this server? A regular user shouldn't be able to log into the server if terminal server is not installed unless the users account is also acting as a service account. Do you actually have users who can login?

yes, there are people who physically go the server and logon with their credentials and they think that this is some computer for games.

is there a way to prevent that ??

thanks

Is terminal server installed? Perhaps you can disable all user accounts except admin accounts? Is this server on a domain or standalone?

By default, only admins should be able to login to the server. Have you changed the server policy? If so reverse that and it will prevent them from logging in. If they have admin rights then they will be able to login. You can limit the access though the security policy. Go to Local security policy/local policies/user rights assignments/allow logon locally I believe it is. Then only have the admin accounts you want to have access listed there. That will stop it.

Follow cyberpyr8's instructions...It looks like you might have the "user" group in the "allow logon locally" setting. Remove it and create another group or use the power user group for those you want to give access to.
