can't modify local security settings
I have a computer which was in our domain. I put it back to Workgroup and
want to change its local security settings. But when launched Local Security Policy under Administrative Tools it showed a lock on Security Settings icon. Also got a lock on Account Policies and Local Policies. I only can view the settings not to change. I believe it's due to GPO from our domain. How can I remove/disable the GPO or get around so I can modify the local security policy. I'm logged in as local admin. Thanks. |

Start by: Start - Help & Support - then type "secedit" in the search box. HTH, John |
