Thanks, Steve. The Local Security Policy indicates that users have this
right, but the effective policy is "greyed out", does that mean the effective
policy is coming from the Doman Security Policy. I opened the "DMS" and the
status was not defined, so I added both Administrators and Domain Users. I
have the support tools installed but can not find gpresult. Where do I get
this?
