How to know if a Active Directory user can login interactively
I would like to know if and how is it possible to know if a AD user can login interactively (on a server) in a domain.
I need to know if I can find it out using a LDAP search.
Thanks.

Strictly through LDAP? No, this is not possible. Group Policy settings on the server can control if an account can log in, and those policies are not accessible via LDAP.

This is not a LDAP search - well - not directly - and there are various settings that come to play.
This setting is controlled either by a GPO or the local security policy.
See LOCAL SECURITY POLICY => Local Policies
Further comes this to play:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg604699.aspx
Users can perform an interactive logon by using a local user account for local logon or a domain account for domain logon. The interactive logon process confirms the user's identification by using the security account database on the user's local computer or by using the domain's directory service. This mandatory logon process cannot be turned off for users in a domain.
If you explain further what exactly you want to find out there might be another way to determine who can and can't do it...

A LDAP search is not enough, because the ability to perform an interactive logon is controller by the security policy in the destination computer.
The policy itself ("Allow Interactive Logon") can be managed by Group Policies in the domain (which you can check using RSOP, but not using LDAP), but it can also be manually configured on any given computer; also, the rights to perform an interactive logon can be assigned to users or groups, which further complicate things.
In short, there are multiple settings involved to define who is allowed to log on where; there is no quick, easy and general way to answer your question; even RSOP can only help a little here, because it can only check domain policies, not local ones.
