RE: Local user policy



Hello DBot,

Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.

>From your description, I understand that you want to add a user group to
local administrators group on client computers. If I have misunderstood
your concern, please let me know.

Please see my following information:

1> You mentioned "be member of the "super user" group", I need to know is
it server side or client workstation side "super user" group?

2> To add domain users to local groups, there are several methods:

============
Method One:

You can do it by a simple script as following:

Net localgroup administrators [domain name]\domain users /add

Save the file as a .bat file, then open Domain Group Policy, open Computer
configuration\windows settings\scripts\startup, locate the bat file.

When client computer starts up, the command will be executed by system
account to add the domain users group to local administrators group.

=============
Method Two:

You can use Restricted Groups policy on Domain policy to add users to
workstations' local group. To do so:

1. Start Active Directory Users and Computers from SBS 2K3 server.

2. Create an organizational unit, and then move all of the appropriate
workstations to that organizational unit.

3. Create a global group in that organizational unit, and then add the
appropriate users to that group.

4. Create a new GPO and link this GPO to the new OU.

5. Right click the new GPO and select Edit.

6. You are in the Group Policy Object Editor.

7. Right-click Restricted Groups (under Computer Configuration\Windows
Settings\Security Settings\Restricted Groups), and then click Add Group.

8. Type administrators and then click OK.

9. In the Members of this Group box, click ADD, and then click Browse.

11. Locate the group in the organizational unit that you want to place in
the administrators group, and then add it the group. After you do so, close
the group policy.

12. At a command prompt, type "secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy
/enforce" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.

NOTE: This method will remove the users/groups which are individually added
to local administrators group from workstation. If you want to append the
original users/groups, in step 9, please click Add next to This group us a
member of.

Hope this information helps. If anything is unclear, please let me know. I
am looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Brandy Nee
