Experts,<br />

I am having problems with assigning users (normal user acocount) logon locally right to either DC or standalone servers.<br />
<br />
After I give the logon locally right for userA, for example, in local Computer Policy - Computer Configuration - Windows Settings - Security Settings - Local Policies - User Rigths, the effective right are still greyed out. The usual way I have to achieve this is to change the security template for basicdc or basicsv, but I wonder if this is the correct way, and I am sure there is another easier way to do this, for either DC or Standalone server.<br />
<br />
Anyone?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Logon Locally Right

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
