Standalone W2k Professional

[JP]

Is it possible to setup a policy for one specific user or group as opposed
to anyone that logs on? On one W2k PC - No AD...

Thanks!

It is not supported, but you may have success by assigning deny permissions to those
who you do not want user policy to apply to on the \winnt\system32\group policy\users
folder. --- Steve

Hello JP.

There is no default method to apply a Windows 2000 local policy to a single
user account...

You may find the following article helpful to exclude administrators from
the application of the local policy:

You can also try downlevel NT 4.0 style policies, but you will not be able
to take advantage of the advanced policy settings that are native to Windows
2000:

groups and OU,with a no override setting on the group one, like i said I
