If you were  Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
Background: Very Recent switch from Novell to Active Directory. After
joining all workstations to the new domain, we have had a couple that
will logon without certain services running. I have narrowed things
down to a missing entry in the local security policy.

For some reason our Group Policy for the domain will not push down to
these few workstation and the changes I make loaclly disappear after a
reboot. Although everything will work as it is supposed tofor that one
boot. Another reboot will result in the original problem.

The exact change that I am making is in the secpol.msc is
Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Impersonate a client after
authentication
ASPNET, Administrators, SERVICE

Before adding the permissins this field was blank. After a reboot it
goes back to blank even though our group policy is pushing out the same
settings I added locally. I just can't get it to save. I also tried
to import a template with the same end result.

Any ideas?

Just since it may help you in the longer term, GP processing is a pull
technology, not a push design.

When settings in local policy get changed upon reboot it is most often
due to AD-base policy being imposed, although it can in cases be from
such as a startup script of process in the system context.

Another terminology aspect that may over time help you . . . this is not
a permission, but a user right

Are you sure that the one GPO you mention is the only one that
might be effective in controlling that value?

Obtain the GPMC and use its resultant policy capability.
This will quickly show you if AD based GPO(s) is(are)
responsible, and if so, which.
www.microsoft.com/gp has links to get GPMC

If it is not due to a GPO, then post back and someone here may
have ideas of remaining possibilities.
