OK. I have not tried it with machine configuration yet. From your post it sounds as
if the user the policy is not being applied to is logging onto the local machine as
local administrator and not the domain as a regular user who also is in the local
administrators group on that computer. Since it is a machine policy, that would lead
me to also believe it should affect all users on that computer logging into the local
machine or the domain. What happens when a domain user that is also in the local
administrators group logs onto that machine? Are they denied access to run that
application? Of course restricting any local administrator is extremely difficult as
they can do things like create local administrator accounts and unjoin computers from
the domain. --- Steve
