SUMMARY
This article describes how to use the Ntrights.exe utility to restrict access to a workstation to only the Local Administrators group. Ntrights.exe, a utility program included in the Resource Kit for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, enables you to grant or revoke any Windows NT right to or from a user or group of users.
MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: To be able to set a right for a user or group, you must have Administrator privileges.
To restrict access to a workstation to only the Local Administrators group, type the following commands at the command prompt, pressing ENTER after each line
ntrights -r SeInteractiveLogonRight -u ''Backup Operators'' - m workstation_name
ntrights -r SeInteractiveLogonRight -u ''Everyone'' - m workstation_name
ntrights -r SeInteractiveLogonRight -u ''Guests'' - m workstation_name
ntrights -r SeInteractiveLogonRight -u ''Power Users'' - m workstation_name
ntrights -r SeInteractiveLogonRight -u ''Users'' - m workstation_name
where workstation_name is the name of the workstation you want to restrict.
These commands remove the right to log on to the workstation locally from every group except the Local Administrators group. If you are working from a workstation that you want to restrict, you do not have to use the -m parameter, because the changes are made to the local workstation by default. However, when you want to use these commands on a remote computer, you must use the -m parameter, along with the name of the computer. To make all of the changes at once, create a batch file with these commands and include the names of all required workstations.
To view a list of all the available rights and for additional information about how to use the Ntrights.exe utility, either view the documentation that accompanies the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit, or type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
ntrights /?
