Hi,

I am in a workgroup environment(no domain/server) all W2K machines, I
need to assign a user(sweepupd) on each computer to "log in as a
service". I would like to set this setting remotely without having to
visit each machine. I have tried gpedit.msc /gpcomputer:"compname"
however I cant access the local security policy. Is there away to have
a mmc open up a remote computers local security policy? I also dl
ntrights.exe but I am unsure if it can do what I want.

Thank You

Ntrights should work fine as long as you are logged onto your computer as a user that
is a local administrator on the target computer. With ntrights the right you want to
grant is case sensitive so be sure to type carefully. Use for instance [ ntrights -m
\\remotecomputer +r SeServiceLogonRight -u sweepupd ]. See the KB link below for more
info on ntrights. --- Steve
