When you log into the SAS Management Console for the first time,
the following error message might appear:

    Unable to establish a connection to the requested metadata server.

This message occurs even if you have already started the SAS metadata
server.

When you inspect the metadata server log, you see the following:

   ERROR: Error authenticating user sasadm in function LogonUser.
   Error 1385 (Logon failure: the user has not been granted the
   requested logon type at this computer. ).
   ERROR: Access denied.
   NOTE: New client connection (2) rejected from server port 8561 for
   user sasadm.  Peer IP address and port are (ipaddress).
   NOTE: User sasadm probably does not have the right to log on as a
   batch job.

Note: The log is in \sas\<plan_name>\lev1\sasmain\metadataservers\logs.

To resolve the problem on XP and Windows 2000 server computers, do the
following:
   1. Go to the Control Panel and select Administrative Tools.
   2. Select Local Security Policy>User Rights Assignment.
   3. Select the Logon as a Batch job and add the appropriate user IDs
      or groups to the list.
   4. Select Replace a Process Level Token and add the appropriate
      user IDs or groups to the list.
