Hi,

Running a Windows mixed AD domain, and on one machine we have a local
useraccount which I want to grant access to log onto that machine as a
service and batch job.

I know I can add the local account to the domain policy, but that would
give it access to log onto all machines, and not just the one I want it
to be on.

If you are controlling the login User Rights from AD's GPOs, then you
need to define an overriding GPO for that one machine in which you
specify the exceptional values the machine requires.

Then do it in Local Security Policy on just that computer. If that computer
has it's local settings being overridden by a higher priority Group Policy
such as domain/OU level then put that computer in its own Organizational
Unit with a Group Policy linked to it with those user rights configured per
your needs. Keep in mind that you can create a child OU from an existing OU
to do this. Then the computer in that child OU will still inherit all the
Group Policy/security policy settings it currently is from higher priority
policies other then settings configured in the child OU. The exception
would be if a higher level Group Policy is configured to be "no override"
which is not by default for any GPO. --- Steve
