Hi All,

I need some help in solving a problem with my administrators account. I am
unable to add or remove programs using the administrators account with an
error message "add or remove programs is restricted. please check with your
administrator. I have run the rsop.msc and find that the control panel option
is enabled. I have gone into the local security policy and disabled the "add
or remove programs" rebooted the machine and it still shows as enabled in
the rsop.msc. I am still unable to use the add remove programs.

Does anyone know what is overriding this option. Can someone please help.

Hi,

The GPO applying this setting in the domain has presedence over the local
policy. Either reverse the GPO in the domain if you don't want anyone to
get it or link the GPO in a place where the admin users do not fall under
its scope.

Hope this helps,

Hi Brian,

Thanks very much for your comments.

How would i reverse the GPO in the domain, as apposed to the local settings?

From the rsop.msc it will list which GPO contains the setting in question.
Locate that GPO in the domain using the Group Policy Management console and
edit the GPO setting it back to not defined or disabled.
