Group Policy help
Posted by ADP Comm on January 28th, 2008


Hello,
I'm trying to setup a policy to grant access for a security group to have
domain admin level access only on a few specific servers. We are using OCS
and the chosen few to be administrators for it are not domain admins. I have
read and understand they will need domain admin rights for some aspects of
the software. I only want to enable the group to have admin rights on the OCS
servers. Where do I find the correct policy to accomplish this? Any and all
assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you for the reply and it does explain things well I think. I am still
trying to determine how to further restrict the group used for in the new
policy, under 'Restricted Groups'.
This first part does accomplish part of my goal. It is the second half, how
to restrict them to specific machines is what I am trying to do.

A sloppy answer, i think, is to create a sub OU, move the machines that you
don't want them to have access to and restrict that one Policy...?

Just a thought as I need to do this also on other issues.

It sounds like a nice idea however at this time, OU's aren't working as they
should on the network I'm supporting.

Just like BBW replied, you need to link that policy to the OU where the
specific machine accounts are in.
