Hello,

I have a NT4 domain and many win2k pro clients. I am an
admin everywhere (domian admin, local admin on serer and
clients). secpol.exe will absolutly, catagorically not
allow anyone at all to make any changes to the security
settings. Not local or domain admins, or anyone. I have
all the permissions I can give myself on the NT4 server.

Any changes I make in User Rights Assignment can not be
changed in the 'Effective Settings' catagory, and in
the 'Local Settings' catagory things appear to be change,
but the changes are not 'remembered' when I start
secpol.msc

One thing more that may help, the client computers were
installed with ghost from a syspreped image.

Any ideas as to what I could do make secpol actually
work? Thanks in advance!
