Xp Client on NT 4.0 Domain - Local Security too high

[Tom]

I have six Xp clients that log into a NT 40 domain and
are just "users". We set up a user account that matches
the domain account "name/password" so that when the user
tried to modify network setting locally the account would
be checked and allowed to modify; local account set to
admin. Somewhere along the line there's has been a change
where the new builds (same hardware) are not checking
this local account and thus the users cannot change
anything on the local machine without logging in
locally. I've been checking the local security policy in
XP but cannot find a "block inheritance" or "enforce" to
allow these clients access as administrators locally but
not on the domain.

Any ideas?

You need to add their domain user account to the local administrators group on their
machines, assuming that is what you want. If they just need to change networking
configuration there is a "network configuration operators" local group that you could
add them to instead. --- Steve

Yup, thats it - guess I was making it harder then it
needed to be. Strange that it used to work and now it
doesn't?

Thanks for your help!

Tom.

I just usually write off stuff like that to gremlins. --- Steve
