Herb,
Beginning with W2k User Rights is a section in the
local security policy, and in all GPOs.
There is no API for setting any policy values from script.
What you state about use of a group is absolutely
right. However, that only chases the posters issue
back one level: does group exist yet, and has it been
granted the user right? If not, the installer would need
to make it so. For that OP would need to resort to
shelling out from their script to an exe like NTrights.
