Re: Policy Removal Qustion.

If he is logged on as the local administrator that is not a domain user
account then it can not be domain level Group Policy restrictions. Anyway I
would have him run rsop.msc on his computer while logged on as that user
account to see if any Group Policy restrictions are enabled. Look under user
configuration/administrative templates/network/network connections to see if
any settings are enabled or disabled that may be giving him the problem. If
not use gpedit.msc and try enabling/disabling settings as the case may be to
try and reverse any apparent restrictions. --- Steve

G'day to all.

A Client of mine all of a sudden has policies on his machine (XP) that
says "Insufficient Permissions..." when he tries to change Network
Settings.

He is logged on as ADMINISTRATOR (the real guy, not a member of admin
acount). The only way we could change the settings (IP address) was to
tweak the registry. Obviously, this is not the way to do things, but it
worked interimly.

I am suspecting that it is a policy, but noone (in the least this fellow)
would have done such a thing. The only wierd thing is that they put a
Win2K3 server on the LAN. It is is it's own domain and on a different
subnet. But I don't see how this would affect him?

Does anyone know what is happening, or why an Admin has incorrect rights.
I've scowered Google and the MS Tech sites, to no avail.

Thanks in advance.
