How can I configure a local computer policy on Win 2000, and apply it only when users other than the Administrator logs in? (I do not want this policy to be in effect when the Admin logs in).
Thanks

Sorry, Local Policy applies to the local computer You can accomplish what you want in a Domain setting by using Group Filtering. If you are in a Domain repost and I'll help you with the steps.

You can try looking at this page:

I have not tried it my self but it looks sound. I build PC for students in a college and the way i get round the problem is:

Before the Local policy is set I add a folder to the Administrator Profile called "NTUSER.POL"(in the same place you will find utuser.dat) and remove the Delete permissions (Just to be on the safe side) for all users of that file.

This only stops the Users side of the policy being applied to the local Administrator.
