I am hoping that someone can help me. All users that are
authenticated by our network are unable to burn CD's. (XP
Professional) If the user logs onto the local machine
with a local account they can burn CD's, so I am assuming
that this is a network or group policy issue.

There is no error message recieved, Windows CD burning
indicates that there is no CD in the drive and please
insert a CD... I have NO IDEA how this came to be and I
would appreciate any input.
 
They may be logging on to their local computers with an administrator account. You
should not allow them to logon to the local computer as all user configuration Group
Policy from the domain/OU will not apply to the local users. After making sure their
local accounts are not in the local administrators group and that they do not know
the password to the local administrator account [change it] , then configure domain
or OU Group Policy computer configuration/security settings/local policies/user
rights for logon locally to contain just administrators and domain users. --- Steve
 
I suppose that OP's question is actually how to *enable* CD burning for
domain users. If it is correct then what I'm using for win2k is Nero
BurnRights utility. It addresses win2k CD burning issue in general, not only
for Nero s/w. More info here:
