What is in the Application event log? Do you see any errors? Any Event = ID 1002, or 1000? What about 1702?

To the list,=20 I know this might be a little OT, but here is what I am trying to do, = via Local GPO on a new External DNS Server I need to put out for my organization.=20 1) I have configured a security template which locks down the undeeded services, and ACL's them so that only Administrators can disable them if = so desired.=20 2) The security template also, makes use the Restricted Groups Functionality, in which I have added all the local accounts in which = will only be a member of the administrators group and no others.=20 I validated the Security template and then ran the following command = secedit /configure /db db.sdb /CFG template.inf /overwrite /areas GROUP_MGMT = /log log.log /verbose.=20 I looked at the log everything worked fine.=20 I ran secedit /Refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce and secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce.=20 I then go ahead and add the TSINTERNETUSER via terminal services to the administrators group, which via local GPO being applied it should be removed. When I reboot, the account still exists in the local = administrators group.=20 DO any of the GPO guru's have some suggesstions? This is an External = Win2k Standalone system with SP3, and all the needed hotfixes.=20 Thanks in advance,=20 Ed ********************************************************* This Week's Sponsor - RTO Software / TScale TScale increases terminal server capacity.=20 Get 30-40% more users per server to save $$$ and time.=20 Add users now! - not more servers.
