Group Policies in W2K

Where I work we have some computers for the students to use. These machines run NT4 and use mandatory profiles, and have a lot of things like start menu options turned off.

Anyway, this summer we are looking to upgrade them to W2K or maybe XP. I was playing with the Group Policy editor in mmc on my machine to see what we could turn off/on as there seem to be more options under W2K. However, every change I made applied to all the user account including Administrator. I know there must be some way of getting round this, as the machines current setup on NT4 reflects this.

Anyone know what i'm missing/doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
 
You are very astute and are asking great questions.

You can actually lock admins totally out of a machine, with no recourse, if you're not careful.

You can deny the administrators group the permissions to apply the policy. That will allow you to read and edit the policy, but prevent the policy from applying to your account.

So, edit the permissions on the group policy object.
