I'm trying to add users to the Access this computer from the network User Rights Assignment policy but the 'Add' button is disabled:

enter image description here

I'm connecting to the machine via RDP using the local Administrator account (not a domain user). I've also tried to do the same with a domain user that is in the Administrators group but the result is the same.

How can I add a user to this policy?

The machine is running Windows 7.

  • You need to be using a domain user in the Administrator user group

  • Your not using one, you indicated your using the local Administrator account, you need to be using a user connected to the domain with Administrator permissions.

You cannot edit this User Rights Assignment policy because this setting is being managed by a domain-based Group Policy. In this case, the domain Group Policy setting has precedence and you are prevented from modifying the policy via Local Group Policy.

To modify this policy, either:

  1. Modify the policy in the applicable domain Group Policy Object.
  2. Prevent any domain-based GPOs from specifying this setting, then edit the computer's Local Group Policy.
