If I create a policy to control a group of users' environment on a NT server, will the policy only affect users when they log into that paticular server or will it apply to them when they log onto any NT machine on the domain?

This depends on what type of users they are. If they are Local users then it will only apply when they log in tp that particular system. If they are domain users the policy will be applied whenever or where ever they log in.

Hope this helps

Since you ARE using domains and group lists, it will affect anyone who logs into the domain. This means that if a visitor from another domain manages to log into your domain, the policies will be enforced upon him.

Hope this helps.

The effect will be domain wide, although you can setup MACHINE policies for a group of machines to restrict further or remove some of the restrictions. If you tell us waht you're trying to do, I believe we can find the right solution.

You can set a policy for a group that will apply to only the group in question when ever they log on to the domain. Other groups and users need not be affected.
