whom2be Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 hello all...I am a bit lost with setting permissions in windows server 2003.I have two firewire external backup drives that are swapped out each morning, having had a backup written to it the night before.I want to give permissions to a "Backup Operator" to go into the device manager and uninstall the drive, but I can not figure out how to do it other than to give them full Administrator rights. Any advice?ThanksRaymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At0mic Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Go to local policy settings, user rights assignment and give backup operators access to "Load and unload device drivers". As default, only Administrators can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whom2be Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 Thanks At0mic...But I still have a problem. I found the local policy but can't change it.I am loged on as the Administer and I can cange some of the settings, but the one for "load and unload device drivers" has a grayed out button for add user or group. There is an information message that says:"This setting is not compatable with computers running Windows 2000 service pack 1 or earlier. Apply group policy objects containing this setting only to computers running a later version of the operating system"Whats that all about? It is a windows server 2003 system with service pack 1.I have seen no other service packs for server 2003.Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I added a new domain service user to the Domain Security Policy's "Log on as a service" field. There're 2 W2k SP4 DCs here, Native mode (no pre-2000 DCs). The server I'm trying to set is W2K3 SP1, up-to-date.Any ideas? Edited January 10, 2006 by wadmatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
