The Restricted groups policy setting is the "new" windows 2003 method of making this change to the local machine group accounts. If you don't want to use it, then you're doing the change manually . . .or scripting it works too. Basic MS article on the restricted groups: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs /en-us/sce_res_group.mspx The setup just seems odd, but it's really straight forward once you get it sorted out. You could also look at a 3rd party utility mentioned here to update all machines on the fly. . . .(I'm sure VB and WSH can be utilitized to do the same thing) http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBO/tip7300/rh7347.htm Or . . you can always "right click" on the computer in AD users and computers, and select "manage" and then manipulate whatever groups you need to.
