Thanks for that, thought that certain settings (like the User Rights assignment) from the Domain controllers would go out to the PC's as well. They are not defined in the default domain policy ....

Hello,<br />
<br />
Can somebody tell me why the local GPO settings are not overridden by the default domain controller policy? I thought the order was:<br />
<br />
Local<br />
Site<br />
Domain<br />
OU<br />
<br />
Here is the case: on a Windows 8 workstation the user can change the time zone. I would like to prevent this. In the local GPO in computer configuration / policies / windows settings / security settings / local policies / user rights assignment the following user(groups) are allowed to change the timezone: administrators, Local Service and Users.<br />
<br />
In the domain controllers policy, I have changed it from not defined to only administrators and Local Service. Users can still change it after restarts and gpupdate /force.<br />
Anybody any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks

The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
