    Group policy on local machine not on network


    Hi !

    Windows 7 group policy

    I've read a lot of post on this topic but haven't been able to find a clear answer to this question.

    Is it possible to create different policies on a local machine and somehow assign these policies to the groups logging in on this machine ? Seems to me that changing the group ploicy affects all users.

    The machine is not on a network. It is a computer for test purposes in the field not having a domain server to handle the group policies.

    Kind regards

    Gpedit does change group policies, and all users in that group are affected. I am a little confused as to what you want to do to the users.

    I want to disable as much as possible in the user group. Not in the administrator group.

    The only thing the user should be capeable at is :
    - Log in and out
    - Start the test application from a short cut on the desktop
    - Shut down the computer

    No acces to any other programs.

    kahr,
    WIN key | secpol.msc | enter key

    Investigate the leafs and branches of the tree in the lleft-hand pane.

    User Rights asssignment, and App-Locker will probably be of interest to you.
