You can't disable any local accounts, but you can use Restricted Groups or Account Rights to control whether those local accounts can login or not.<br />
<br />
If you use Restricted Groups you can define all of the Built-In groups and they will over write whatever is configured locally. &nbsp;Or you can set Account Rights to only allow the local admin and domain groups to login.<br />
<br />
Its not quite the same, but it would disable the local users from being able to do anything.

Hi Experts :)<br />
<br />
I would like to disable all &nbsp;local accounts (except for local Administrators, maybe?) on all Domain Workstations. I want to use GPO in order to this. Does anyone know how it is accomplished?<br />

How To Disable Local Accounts Using GPO?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
