Local Security Settings

[Russ Ferrill]

I would like to modify the local security settings of a Windows XP Pro
workstation via vbscript. Does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

You can do a call-out to the Win2k resource kit tool ntrights.exe for this I
would think:

ntrights.exe -r SeInteractiveLogonRight -u groupname

Ntrights.exe is also in the free Win2k3 resource kit (it works on Win2k as
well):

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en

(The kit will install on WinXP or later, but you can copy Ntrights.exe to a
Win2k computer or run it from a network location)
