Sorry, didn't mention, the Server is in a Domain. The DC is running in NT4 hence no AD.

Thanks for your reply oBdA. I have read that document before but didn't use it as it states at the bottom of the doc that it &quot;APPLIES TO • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Edition&quot;.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a Windows Server 2000 without AD. I need to implement some user restrictions. I would like to use the MMC Group Policy Console. Can you specify a rule for a user/group or is the rule going to apply to all users including the admins.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

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.
