the problem goes like this, i added a computer (running windows xp pro with
sp2) to the domain (while editing dcom properties for winfax) and when i
removed it from the domain all users on the computer, including
administrators no longer have access to the view the properties of the
network card so i cant change the ip address or do anything for that matter...

when i tried going in through "netsh" it gave me error: access denied

Perhaps you're not an administrator. Run "net user %UserName%"
from a Command Prompt and check what groups you're in.
 
Undo the DCOM Permission / settings.

In Group Policies, there is a setting to apply the Network Connection settings to Administrators, as well as other users.

User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Network, Network Connections, Enable Windows 2000 Network Connections settings for Administrators.
 
King,

Did you use DCOMCNFG to alter settings earlier?

Also, check the Group Policy settings (refer to the post from Doug Knox)

no, just the regular, though in all probability it is that the computer is
attempting to get on the domain to get the policy template, so the question
would then be how do i tell the computer to manage the policy locally
Also, check the Group Policy settings (refer to the post from Doug Knox) policy is ok
