    Hi Everyone,

    I have a WIN NT PDC and a WIN 2K member server. I added the group policy plugin on the W2K and set the policy settings I needed for users accessing this server but it affects all users, even Administrator. Is there a way to have multiple local policies on the W2K server or make the administrator exempt from the policy. I need to keep the WIN NT server as the PDC and do not have access to modifying the users that are created on that server. Those users need access to the W2K server, so would think that I need this group policy to limit their access on the W2K server??

    Thanks

    W/O Active Directory, you won't be able to apply policies to users that effect only the users of the systems. Group Policies are stored in Active Directory, so WinNT policies won't apply to Win2k.

    Would you be able to tell me where the policy file would be stored if I made a group policy on the w2k server. I was thinking that once I apply a policy and it affects all users of the server that I could use file permissions to prevent users from modifing it but still have the administrator be able to change it if I ever needed to get on the server and do maintenance

    Can DENY read access for the administrators local group to WINNT\system32\GroupPolicy or see Q293655
