I have a serious problem trying to set permisions to the windows 2000 users and make them belong to a user group. For example every time I try to make a user to be a member of a user group and I use the MMC Console "Local Users And Groups" is causing an error and then crashes. The log file of DRWatchon has the contents I have paste below in this letter. If you Have any answers please reply me at stavrinc@hotmail.com Thank you.
