Do you know of a way to change user based group policy settings in AD?

by jgreene . Updated 19 years, 4 months ago

Just a example. We have locked down user with AD group policy no control panel, no run option, no c drive, etc. Now a desktop tech has to come up and work on the end users workstation as the user. We would like to see if there is a command or program they can run that will undo the user policy changes temporarily as the user. That way a desktop technician can troubleshoot the issue as the user.

I found the following and wrapped it up in a batch file, but it doesn’t seem to change the user side of group policies.

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose

That resets the operating system back to original installation default security settings.
