Separate GPOs for separate users on stand-alone PC

Hello,

I have installed W2K and used GPO snap-in on local PC
(this is stand alone PC). I'd like to use GPO for separate
users. I mean, if I use GPO like it is then these GPOs
would be applied to every user logged on this PC. Is it
possible to separate GPO for different users? For example:
user1 - CMD prompt disabled; user2 - regedit disabled. But
not CMD and regedit disabled for both users.

Thank you in advance,
Oleg
 
Standalone Win2K does not have the concept of OUs. All users will receive
the same settings.
To achieve that, you will need a domain and place each user in a seperate
OU.
I think so :)
 
As "ys" said, there are no OUs on a standalone PC.

What you can do, though, is to create groups and filter the policy by using
permissions to not process the policy for certain groups. That should work.

Since you are talking about a stand-alone PC you would have to resort to
System Policies and use poledit to create a policy file. That should give
you most of the options you are trying to limit.

GPO s can apply OU or domain level

There is an unsupported hack that involves using deny ntfs permissions to the
\winnt\system32\group policy\users folder that you may try to use to keep Group
Policy user configuration from applying to a certain group even though that will not
do what you want. In your case you could modify ntfs permissions on the cmd.exe,
command.com, regent, and reedit files to control access wherever they may be on the
computer keeping in mind that a service pack installation may change permissions back
to default. --- Steve
