Let me re-word my question :) - A GPO exists which is linked to the domainDNS object - It has User config settings - The requirement is that these settings only be applied to domain user objects which are also members of the local admin group on the domain member machine that they are logged on at.
Is this possible? Thanks, neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Depp, Dennis M.

Instead of defining the explicit membership of a group, you can use restricted groups to add a member to a local group.

Is this possible? My initial thought is to use WMI filters, but this could be expensive. neil ___________________________ Neil Ruston Global Technology Infrastructure Nomura International plc PLEASE READ: The information contained in this email is confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
