Re: Option to edit local security policy option is greyed out

Meinholf,
This is not a DC so AD is not available. This needs to be a local policy on
the local machine using a local non admin account. Do you know why the
option is greyed out to begin with and maybe I can go from there. Thanks.

Hello SBS,

Configure the policy from Active directory, even if you set it locally the
policy will be overwritten. Local policy will only apply if the other
policies are not available.

Just to add to the post. I noticed that the icons for both "Log on as
a Service" and "Allow log on locally" are different from the others.
Must be why I can't edit either one of them. But I did at one time and
need to do it again.

Hello SBS,

Is it a domain controller or member server? Anyway, it seems to be a
domain member and then you have to configure it via the domain or OU
where the server is located in active directory.

I am installing a new version of a program on my W2K3 SP1 server and
one of the requirements is to create a user account and grant this
account the right to "Log on as a service" on the local machine.
however when I go into the Local Security Policy editor I do not get
the option to add or edit. It is greyed out. I have tried both ways
using a domain admin account as well as the local admin account. Any
ideas?
