An interactive logon is generated when the user is physically present at the computer while entering credentials. The account logging on must have the Log on locally privilege; if it does not, the account will fail to log on. An example of an interactive logon is pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL at the Windows prompt, then entering a user name and password.
Also note that a user can be logged on interactively (as if present at the computer) across the network. Most user accounts are logged onto IIS 5.0 interactively.
