Basic rule[1] from W2K hasn’t changed AFAICT.

Sorry for not being clear, but yes Bonnie and Aakash are correct, I was using 
domain-level GPO and it flattens the local policy settings for the same Log on 
as Service settings.

Apologies if I misunderstood, but it sounds like Dave is attempting to apply 
this change using a domain Group Policy (not using the local Group Policy 
editor) and it is being overwritten/replaced and not appended.  And it sound 
like Charles is attempting to do this via the local GP editor (vs a domain GP).

I have always noticed the same behavior, i.e. domain GP will overwrite/replace 
settings applied in the User Rights Assignment, but when making those changes 
in the Local GP editor, you can append/remove as needed.

This can probably be scripted, but I’ve not found a way to append users/groups 
to User Rights Assignment via domain GP.  If someone is aware of how to do 
this, I’d love to hear about it too since I’ve run across the same issue in the 
past.

I’m not on a domain member machine right now, but I open the setting, add 
Groups to the object types that I need to choose from, add the local 
Administrators group and it holds. (The only existing principal was NT 
SERVICE\ALL SERVICES, but that remains along with Administrators.)

When you add the group to “Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Log on as a 
service” it removes all other entries?

I swear I’ve done this before but seem to be remembering it wrong. I want to 
give an Active Directory group permissions to log on as a service, but the GPO 
I create to do this flattens the existing settings on the machine itself (in my 
case it’s NT SERVICE\<windows internal databasename> and some others depending 
on the machine).

What n0b step am I overlooking? Google-Fu also fails me…
