Network configuration Operators group assigned for domain users but not working

Hi,
     In my office we are running windows server 2003. I creatd users in OU and gave network permissions to 2 users by making them as a member of network configuration operators from Bulitin accounts. Also i gave group policy to these users in user configuration-administrative Templates-network-network connections. i made some changes in the policy. the changes are printed to a jpg file. Please help me in this issue

Please, what are you trying to achieve? What exactly would you like to enable your users to do?

Hi Hisham
Should i do this  as a administrator or user
Hi mcKnife
I actually want domain users (some) to change ip address,changing from static to dynamic ips, and enabling and disabling network connections
Ooooops... look at this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297938 ->in xp, everything was possible. In vista, this is buggy..., see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953835
However, even without configuring anything like in your screenshot, for any member of the netw. config. op. group, it is possible to change the ip adress or to change from static to dynamic and back (I checked this on vista ultimate 64 sp1). But without the patch it is not possible to disable/enable a connection.
Did I say vista... (oops again ;) - in 2003 this should work without even configuring anything like in your screenshot. However here at home I don't run any 2003 servers to reproduce. I could however do it tomorrow if you really need confirmation.
HI McKinfe,  did that too, its not working. saying "you have no privileges to............"
What client OS (and servicepack) has these problems?
Server ed is win ser 2003
client ed is win xp sp2
xp sp2 does not have these problems, I confirmed in the same environment as you have and could disable a NIC without problems. User was just in netw. conf. op., no admin.
hi agian
i tried all...........
installed win ser 2003 enterprise with sp2 online updated tilldate and then configured dns and ads. created 3 users
one user member of network configuration operators and domain users. other is member of domain user and the last one in administrators and domain user groups.
Now i can change network connection (Enable/disable), change ip address, make ip as dynamic and all other only with the user who belongs to administrato group.

The only thing I can do for you is confirm that it works for 2003 (which I am sure of) as I had offered before. I will do tomorrow.
I tried 2003 SP2. It works without problems with a non-admin but network configuration operator. What are you doing? Do you have any network access protection software or something like that installed?
hi
look at this
i configured dns, added users to network configuration operators GROUP. -----> Server side
on Client Side
i have to add all those users, which are in network configuration operators in the client system as memebers of network configuration operators
example:

I have a user usr1@domain.com   ---------> member of network configuration operators on domain controller. (win Ser 2003)

On the client side i added usr1@domain.com to network configuration operators group (in XP system)
Like this i have to add 15 users in client system (XP System)
Now its ok but i want to know
Is this is the only solution or anything else is there
please help me out of this.

eeehhhh

That what i wanted


Ok

thanks a lot

Now i want to configure exchange server 2003 can you suggest a book to go thru it and configure.


One more thing i want to know is

which server edition is best either win ser 2003 or win ser 2008

No, I cannot suggest a book, nor can I say what's best. I would prefer2008, 2003  is too old to be preferred.
Ok, I know nothing about exchange server. what i know is it is used as mail server. Is this correct? So how can i go with? Can i install on win server 2003.
Yes you can install the latest version of exchange on 2003 x64. For further concerns, please open a new question.
Hi AngelIII. He wrote "eeehhhh That what i wanted". I assume the matter is solved.
