How do I modify the scecurity settings on a computer to
restrict logins to a certain group of users that login
through a domain controller? I was told to open
administrator tools, select local policies, user rights
assignment, log on locally. There I added the domain
users allowed to login, but it didn't work; all users
could login, not just the ones I put in the list. I was
then told to remove the group "User" from the allowed
list. Now only local accounts or members of
Administrators can login.

Why not just disable the local accounts?

What are the implications of doing that? Would the local
administrator still be allowed login access?

You would leave the ADMINISTRATOR account available,
but password protect it. There may be a more elegant
solution - I'm not a domain expert. good luck -
