Group Policy Error

[paquetjs]

I have a few users that need to log on interactively on my Windows 2003 Server so I wanted to remove the "Last Username" from the login screen. I did it a few times on XP workstations a while back. I tried to edit the "Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name" item in the policy settings, but I get an Access Denied error. I am logged as local admin and i can change other policy settings, except this one. I can't even change it directly by the registry, it gives me a similar error. I tried later to do the same thing on the XP that's also installed on the machine, I get the same error, I have always been able to do this on XP before, but now it seems that I can't. Anyone has any ideas how to resolve this?

Is this server a domain controller for an AD domain? If so, then perhaps you should try logging on with an account that is a member of domain admins before making this change.

Nope, its all local, on a workgroup, I am logged on as local admin.

As Admion or Administrator? You need the proper Permissions... fix that and you will fix your problem.

Um, Im not really sure what's admion, but I am definitly logged on as "Administrator" on the local comp. And the problem are the permissions, how do I fix them?

i think what he means is if you are logged on as the built in admin not a user you created who has admin priveleges

sorry spelling error

I am definitly logged on as built-in admin. I tried to change it manually different times with the registry also, but I can't find the problem and its getting really annoying to have to retype my username everytime over the last one.
