Got a local admin account where this has been set[img]http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5716/18112010133154.png[/img]Which I believe is preventing the admin account from removing or installing devices. This is causing an issue. Looks like it's AD GP as is greyed out and I can't add to it locally. The network team claim there are no AD GPs to limit the local admin account that they know of.Also, I'm trying to use Process Monitor on the machine but that needs admin rights and it keeps saying that the local admin account isn't a member of the admin group, but it is.Any ideas? Even if it's just fixing he Process Monitor bit?And looking at the picture can anyone explain what the icon means next to Load and Unload device drivers. It's different from the others and think this is related, maybe trying to tell me it's a AD group policy.I've spoken to networks, they said there are not AD GP's set for this. I've used the local admin account to create a new local admin account and put it in the administrators group. Logged into it and it also has the same issue.Any ideas?1 person needs an answerI do too

The symbol you refer to indicates that setting has been locked by group policy and is not changeable. When I've seen this in the past, the only way I've been able to override it is by using "secedit".
