Ntrights

The Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit is full of valuable goodies, and one of those goodies is Ntrights (ntrights.exe). This command-line utility lets you modify user or group rights on both local and remote machines. These days, most Windows administrators probably use a GUI to manage user rights, but the command-based utility hasn't lost its value and in many cases can be a better choice than the GUI version. For example, you can incorporate Ntrights in scripts and batch files to run many complicated administrative tasks on several machines.

Ntrights Syntax
When you install the resource kit, Ntrights installs by default in \%systemroot%\program files\resource kit. To use the utility, you must log on with an account that has sufficient rights to make modifications on the destination machine on which you want the changes to take effect.

To access the tool's Help files, type the command

ntrights /?

The Ntrights Help output, which Web Figure 1 (http://www.secadministrator.com, InstantDoc ID 4000) shows, lists the rights that you can modify and the syntax that you use for each command. The output doesn't display a complete list of all the rights that you can modify with the utility, so I also define the rights that the Help file doesn't list. . . .
