Re: Can't Modify Local Security Setting - Windows XP SP 2



Being grayed out means that user right is being enforced by a domain/OU
level policy and is overriding that setting in Local Security Policy. You
can run the support tool rsop.msc to see what Group Policy restrictions are
being applied to the computer/user and what GP is applying the setting. You
will need to talk to the administrators stating your case to see if they can
reconfigure for you which can be easily done possibly creating an OU just
for your computer. The stuff about "This setting is not compatible" is
simply FYI for whoever is configuring Group Policy in case they are
configuring it at the domain/OU level so that they will know what operating
systems it applies to. --- Steve
