Change User Rights Form




One of the most annoying things about Windows NT's default user rights, is that you cannot set the system time from a users login script. Changing this was a manual process that took lots of time and clicking. With Multi-Remote Registry Change you can quickly grant or revoke any of the user rights available in User Manager.

This feature is also handy in a classroom environment where you would like instructors to be able to remotely shutdown all of the computers in a computer lab at the end of the day.

For example, to grant ProfessorA the authority to shutdown all of the computers in Computer Lab 9 you would select all of the computers in Lab 9 from the Computer Names List then select Edit-Change User Rights and enter:

User Domain or PDC Name: *AUTO*
User or Group Name: ProfessorA
Right to Grant/Revoke: Force shutdown from a remote system
Grant/Revoke: Grant

And click Run. Revoking the right is as simple as repeating the steps above but selecting Revoke instead of Grant in the Grant/Revoke box.

When entering the User Domain PDC Name, you can use the default *AUTO*, which will attempt to locate the user account by first searching the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) to which you are attached, then the PDC's in all trusted domains.

If you choose to enter the PDC name for the user, be sure to preface it with "\\". This will inform the program that you want it to only search the PDC entered.

The User or Group Name can be any valid User or Group Name on your domain or any trusted domain.
