DOCUMENT:Q241489 20-MAY-2002 [winnt] TITLE :User Right Incorrectly Configured in SCE High-Security Template PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER:winnt:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbtool kbWinNT4sp6fix ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 - Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you install Windows NT 4.0 on a computer configured as the primary domain controller (PDC) for a domain and then use the high-security template (Hisecdc4) in Security Configuration Editor (SCE) to predefine configurations, the "Access this computer from network" user right may not be assigned to the Account Operators, Administrators, Backup Operators, Print Operators, Server Operators, or Users groups as it should be. SCE does not return an error message or notify you of the incomplete configuration. You may not notice that this right is unassigned unless you check User Manager for Domains. However, if you configure the template again, it may assign the user rights correctly. CAUSE ===== This behavior occurs because the configuration code for SCE is not setting the user rights properly. RESOLUTION ========== Windows NT Server or Workstation 4.0 ------------------------------------ To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or the individual software update.
