Edit group policy for certain users only

[reginalimys]

Hi all,

I need to configre my Win2k Stnd Server to Remove the Run menu from the
Start Menu. But editing this in gpedit.msc will applies to all user who
login to that server. Does this include adminstrator? And how can I
restrict this just for certain users or a group of users?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Regina Lim

An Active Directory would be the easiest way.
gpedit.msc is per default infecting _all_ users on the local client.
You have to work with NTFS permissions on the registry.pol files
that are created with gpedit.msc or you can still using poledit.exe
But you have to use an updated one, like the one from the Office
Resource Kit.
