I have seen this problem posted before but no explanation or solution
so here goes... I am trying to set user rights on a Win2K pro (
workgroup ) machine. In this environment usually the "effective
settings" are set equal to the local settings you define. I have 2
machines where this is not the case. The "effective settings" is not
checked and the right eventually is lost as group policies are
refreshed. This even occurred on a clean install with the latest
patches and SP3.

The problem is so erratic that under the "Local Security Policy" MMC
console app from the Control Panel the local and effective settings
are BOTH checked for a particular right BUT under the "Group Policy"
MMC console app the effective setting is not set.

Help !
