Hello

I looked at User rights, log on Locally. I have the group
Administrators, which I assume is a local group, in that local group,
I have pushed down Domain admins and Local Admins. Everyone is part
of the local Admins, which I assume explains the issue.

No the golden question, how do I get around that :) ?

"everyone" group is a member of Local Adminstrators? That would do it.

Remove "Everyone" group from the "local adminstrators group " and track down
who made that 'decision'. I know someone with a two by four you can borrow
if needed.



Thanks

But the end users still should not be able to login, and I don't
understand why. I have created a group policy that has restricted
groups in it to all all users to have local admin rights to there
PC's (I know, a bad idea, but needed at the moment).

They are able to login to any server, these are not DC's...

Thanks

Sounds like "users" (Domain Users?) have been granted the "logon
locally right" which is not by default. Because this sounds like
multiple servers it likely has been set in some group policy
setting. Check one of your servers to see if it has in fact been
set, then you'll need to track down where.

Is there a way to prevent users (not domain admins) from login
into servers. We have an enviroment were the servers are
accessable to end users

You should have a locked cabinet or room, apart from everything
else. If you don't have physical security you don't have any
security at all.

and I need to prevent them from Login into the server directly,

End users should not be able to log into your servers now, either
at the console or via RD (unless this is a terminal server). Are
they? If so, perhaps they're members of groups they shouldn't be -
or someone has been monkeying around with policies.

but still have access to file and print when they login to
workstation.

Thanks
