Hi all,

Please forgive my ignorance on Group policies, but I have what to me seems a
very simple question;

Is it possible to create a local computer policy that is different depending
on which user logs into the computer? I am trying to understand Group
Policies, but it seems that the local policy applies to ALL users. I'd like
to have User-A login and have certain restrictions, and User-B have a
different set of restrictions. Seems that I cannot create 2 different sets
of restrictions.....

Thanks for any help you can offer!

- Steve

Create a OU (Organization Unit)

You can set policies on OU, then isolating these groups of yours.

Remember policies gets processed in the following order:

Local,Site,Domain,OU, and then sub OU's

Can I do it on a stand-alone Windows 2000 Pro box? It's attached physically
to the network, but don't want it to be part of the domain....

If you want to use grouping with policies for people login on locally, then
the only thing I can think of is putting them in groups and then script your
self to death, that is writing big logon scripts setting registry entries
per usergroup.

Note that the local computer has builtin groups like User,Power User and
Administrator all with their already builtin capabilities..
