Sorry buddy,
Domain security policies override local security policies. By adding
your domain user account to the local Admin account will accomplish
nothing. Only domain admins may have full control of your laptop. When
you logon locally with your local admin account, your domain security
policy will not be applied (since you are not logging onto a domain),
and then you have full control of your laptop. The same is true when you
logon as a domain admin. I would create a new Domain group called power
users or something, add your domain user account to that, and change
your GPO for that group (or OU, which ever fits the way you administer
your domain). Hope this helps ;)

Subject: Changing Display Properties in W2K Prof
I just upgraded a W98 laptop to W2K professional and am unable to change
the
display settings or for that matter gain access to the Control Panel. I
get
an error message saying "Your System Administrator disabled the Display
Control Panel." I have access when I log in using the my local account,
the
local admin account and even the domain admin account. However, it
doesn't
like me changing things using my domain user account. I even added my
domain users account to the local administrator's group, but that didn't
help.
Current environment is NT4 domain with 1 W2K server.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Steve
