Vista Home Premium, Local Security Policy

SIS · External Since: Jul 13, 2007 Posts: 4

Dear Sir,

How can access the Local Security Policy in Windows Vista Home Premium,
which is available under Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local
Security Policy in Windows XP.

I have searched on the discussion group regarding this and found out that
this has not been provided in the Vista Home Premium Edition. I woild like to
know how else then I can set a user for 'Logon as a Batch Job', which I must
setup for some of the features of my another software to work for me.

Pls let me know.

Thanks & Regards
SIS

Hi Carey,

Thanks for your prompt response.

I have already been through the link you have provided. Actually, it doesn't
state how can I change the settings for that particular parameter 'Logon as a
Batch Job'.

Can you pls give me some details, how can I set that.

Thanks & Regards
SIS

Windows Vista Home Users:

1. Press the Windows key, type regedit and press Enter. Browse down to this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
2. You should see a key called PromptOnSecureDesktop. Double-click this and change the value to 0 (zero)

To assign the "Log on as a batch job" user right to the Performance Log Users group:

1. Click Start, click in the Search box, type secpol.msc, and press ENTER.
The Local Security Policy snap-in will open in Microsoft Management Console.
2. In the navigation pane, expand Local Policies and click User Rights Assignment.
3. In the console pane, right-click Log on as a batch job and click Properties.
4. In the Properties page, click Add User or Group.
5. In the Select Users or Groups dialog box, click Object Types.
Select Groups in the Object Types dialog box and click OK.
6. Type Performance Log Users in the Select Users or Groups dialog box and then click OK.
7. In the properties page, click OK.

Hello,

You can use the NTrights.exe command-line tool, available as a free
download from Microsoft as part of the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit
Tools:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9D467A69-57FF...E7-96EE

You will need to run the tool from an elevated command prompt
(right-click command prompt, click Run As Administrator).

Dear Carey,

Sorry for the delay in response.
I tried the step-by-step process as described by you. But I am unable to
find the secpol.msc. After setting the "PromptOnSecureDesktop" to 0, I tried
running secpol.msc, it say cannot find the file specified.

Where can I find that file. What is the other possible way.

Thanks
SIS

Hi Jimmy,

But I could not find any option for setting the value for 'Log on as a Batch
Job', in NTrights.exe, which actually I need to set.

Pls respond.

Thanks

Hello,

You can do it with NTrights, but the correct switch is not listed in the
help output for some reason. It is the SeBatchLogonRight option (case
sensitive).

e.g.: ntrights -u LOCAL\jimmy +r SeBatchLogonRight

Make sure you run the command from an elevated command prompt
(right-click, run as administrator).
