Well, its not during the logon process, but yes, academically, you are
correct. If you have the ability to write to a GPO (i.e., edit the GPO) then
you have the ability to modify one of the ADM files that are loaded within
it by simply touching the local copy prior to running GPEditor. But again,
this assumes you have the ability to write to the GPO in the first place, in
which case, there are a lot of other things you can do :)

On an ... ahem... academic note....

At what point during the logon process does the GP editor check for this?
Could I craft my own ADM files (or create invalid or blank ones), and use
something like touch.exe to give them an up-to-the-minute timestamp, and
have those loaded instead of the ones the network administrator had in mind?
