Deny logon locally on gpedit.msc on windows 7

Symptom: When trying to logon a computer using non administrator ID, you may receive this message: "You cannot log on because the logon method you are using is not allowed on this computer. Please see you network administrator for more details."
Case 1: Group Policy' "Allow log on locally" was not setup to allow users or domain users. To setup allow users or domain users to logon the computer or domain, you need to add the users or domain users to the "Allow log on locally". Please follow these steps to add the users.
1. Run gpedit.msc.
2. Expand Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies
3. Click on User Rights Assignment
4. Ensure that "Allow log on locally" includes Administrators, Backup
Operators, Domain Users or Users.
Case 2: Group Policy' "Deny log on locally" was setup to deny users or domain users. To setup allow users or domain users to logon the computer or domain locally, "Deny log on locally" should be empty or no users or domain users in the list. Please follow these steps to remove the users or domain users from the "Deny log on locally".
1. Run gpedit.msc.
2. Expand Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies
3. Click on User Rights Assignment
4. Ensure that "Deny log on locally" is empty.
Case 3: The local group policy allow user to logon. However, domain group policy which overrides local policy doesn't allow users to logon locally. The resolution is modify the domain policy to allow users to logon locally.
Case 4: The domain policy allows domain users to logon locally, but the local policy doesn't and the domain policy doesn't apply to the computer. The fix is running gpupdate to force to update the domain policy.
Case 5: Norton Firewall blocks the communication between the client and domain controller. The solution is disabling Norton firewall or re-configuring it to allow to access the domain controller.

How to create a website through Godaddy.com

Before Getting Started
Make sure you have a computer with an internet connection, around 200 rupees to spend up front via credit card or debit cad, and a desire to have your own webpage on the internet.  This guide assumes you have a basic knowledge of computers and the internet, and aren't afraid to do a few "virtual swipes" of your credit card over the internet.  You can rest assured that all servers referenced by this guide are safe and secure. 
                        Steps to Publish a Website - Quick Links

Step 1:  Register a Domain Name
a)  Make a list of 5 domain names (.com, .net, .org, etc.) you'd like to use for your website, or skip
      to Step 2 if you already own a domain name.
b)  Go to Go Daddy's website in your web browser by clicking here.  
NOTE:  Go Daddy is just one of hundreds of domain name companies.  This reputable company is being chosen for you for simplicity.
c)  Use the domain search tool on Go Daddy's homepage to find if the domain you like is available,
     as demonstrated by Figure 1 below.
go daddy homepage
Figure 1: Searching Go Daddy for domain name availability
d)  When you find one that's available, go through the checkout process to register the domain.
      When going through the checkout process, you will need to create an account with a username
      and password.  Please write this down, as you will need to login and edit some settings later.
back to top

Step 2:  Sign up with a Web Hosting Company
NOTE:  A web hosting company has a server, which is where your files that make up your web site will be stored.  There are hundreds of thousands of web hosting companies out there, and whole communities on the internet devoted to how to best choose one.  This guide will assume you have weighed the cost and benefits and have chosen Web Design GT for your hosting needs. 
a)  Go to Web Design GT's web hosting page by clicking here.
b)  Click on "Request a Quote" and complete the form.
c)  A web hosting account manager will review the requirements, supply a price quote, and supply a
     link for payment to help get the account set up.
e)  In a few hours you'll receive a welcome email from Web Design GT with detailed account
      information.  In that email you will be told what your Nameservers are, so find them in the email
      and verify for Web Design GT they are: 
NS1.WEBDESIGNGT.COM
NS2.WEBDESIGNGT.COM
NOTE:  Nameservers are used to point a domain name to a specific web hosting company's server. If you chose a different web hosting company, you will have different Nameservers.
back to top

Step 3:  Update your Nameservers
a)  Securely login to Go Daddy (the company you registered your domain name with) by entering your
      username and password you wrote down in step 1. d)  via this page.
b)  Once logged in, click on "Manage Domains" as demonstrated in Figure 3, below.
go daddy image
Figure 2: Location of the "Managed Domains" link on Go Daddy's site
c)  Find your domain name and click on it.
d)  On the right, find where it says "Nameserver Summary" and click on the link that says "Click here
      to see details or modify."
e)  In the provided boxes, enter the two Nameservers from step 2. e) as shown below in Figure 4.
nameserver information
Figure 3: Entering the proper Nameservers in Go Daddy
f)  Click the green "Save Changes" button and log out of your account.
NOTE:  It will take up to 24 hours for this change to go through.  This wait period is called "Domain Propagation" and there is no way to speed it up.
back to top

Step 4:  Create a Basic Webpage
a)  Use Microsoft FrontPage (part of Microsoft Office) or Macromedia Dreamweaver (part of
      Macromedia Suite) to create a new webpage.  This guide will not cover how to make the actual
      webpage, but you can go through a tutorial on this page to learn more about the topic.
b)  Save the webpage as "index.htm" as shown below in Figure 5.
saving webpage
Figure 4: Saving your webpage as "index.htm" 
NOTE:  The basic webpage name on every server must be named "index.htm" so that visitor's web browsers know where to start looking.  This webpage will be located in the base or "home" directory, and from this page you can link to other webpages that you create.  The "index.htm" page is the only one that is assumed to exist by a web browser.
back to top

Step 5:  Upload your Webpage via FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
a)  Find the FTP information from the welcome email discussed in 2. e) and use your favorite FTP
      program to connect to your website.  This guide will not cover how to create an FTP account, but
      you can go through a tutorial on this page to learn more about how to use Flash FXP, a popular
      and easy to use FTP program.  The FTP information from the welcome email will be in the form
      of Figure 6 below.

Figure 5: FTP information from the welcome email
b)  Using the given FTP information, create an FTP account and connect to your website.
