Solution : Network Connection Failiure
If you’re seeing the error “The user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer” while trying to connect to a network share on a Windows machine, it usually means that the user account you’re using doesn’t have the correct permissions to access that computer remotely. But don’t worry I’ll guide you through a simple troubleshooting process to fix it.
Here’s what you can do:
Step 1: Network Connection Failure Log in as Administrator
You’ll need to be on the computer you’re trying to connect to. Make sure you’re logged in with an account that has administrator privileges.
Step 2: Open Local Security Policy
- Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
- Type secpol.msc and hit Enter. This opens the Local Security Policy window.
Step 3: Navigate to User Rights Assignment
- In the left-hand pane, expand Local Policies, then click on User Rights Assignment.
- In the right-hand pane, scroll down to find “Deny access to this computer from the network”.
- Why? If the user you’re trying to connect with is listed here, they won’t be able to connect to network shares.
Step 4: Check Deny Policies
- Double-click on “Deny access to this computer from the network” and make sure the user or group you’re trying to connect with is not listed. If they are, remove them by selecting the user or group and clicking Remove.
- Similarly, check the “Deny log on locally” policy. Make sure the user or group is not listed here either.
Step 5: Grant Network Access Rights
- Still under User Rights Assignment, find “Access this computer from the network”.
- Double-click it, then click Add User or Group.
- Type in the name of the user or group that needs access (like “Everyone” or specific users), then click OK.
Step 6: Apply and Restart
- Once you’ve made the changes, click Apply and OK.
- Restart the computer to ensure the changes take effect.
Step 7: Network Connection Failure Test the Connection
Now, try reconnecting to the network share from the other computer. If everything is set up correctly, you should now be able to connect without any issues. If it still doesn’t work, make sure the user account is also part of the local users or administrators group on the machine you’re connecting to. Let me know if you run into any trouble with these steps! It should be a straightforward fix, but every system is a little different.
