What was the problem/requirement? (What/Why)

Some applications have security controls that restrict what a network logon user can do, but do not have such restrictions for interactive logons.

What was the solution? (How)

Change the win32 logon kind from NETWORK to INTERACTIVE. NETWORK was oridinally chosen as it was believed that it was required for the logon to have access to network shares, but INTERACTIVE grants the same access so this should be a safe change.

What is the impact of this change?

Applications that restrict network logons should now function.

How was this change tested?

A colleague manually applied the change and tested it with the application in question.

Was this change documented?

N/A

Is this a breaking change?

No, it should not be.

Problem:

Some applications have security controls that restrict what a network
logon user can do, but do not have such restrictions for interactive
logons.

Solution:

Change the win32 logon kind from NETWORK to INTERACTIVE. NETWORK was
oridinally chosen as it was believed that it was required for the logon
to have access to network shares, but INTERACTIVE grants the same
access so this should be a safe change.
