I'm trying to add users to the Access this computer from the network User Rights Assignment policy but the 'Add' button is disabled:
I'm connecting to the machine via RDP using the local Administrator account (not a domain user). I've also tried to do the same with a domain user that is in the Administrators group but the result is the same.
How can I add a user to this policy?
The machine is running Windows 7.

You cannot edit this User Rights Assignment policy because this setting is being managed by a domain-based Group Policy. In this case, the domain Group Policy setting has precedence and you are prevented from modifying the policy via Local Group Policy.
To modify this policy, either:
- Modify the policy in the applicable domain Group Policy Object.
- Prevent any domain-based GPOs from specifying this setting, then edit the computer's Local Group Policy.
