Strange Rights, Policies, and Profiles with a workgroup

Don't hate me for not using Active Directory. I have a W2K3 server, Standard Edition, running a small network using a workgroup instead of a domain. When a workstation logs in, somewhere, somehow, a Group Policy is being applied that disables the users ability to change network settings, printer settings, and the power settings in control panel. This policy even prevents the administrator account from doing these things. Can anyone tell me where this is happening? Is it the local policy on the workstation (which I doubt), the local policy on the server, or is it something NETbios does by default when using a workgroup? There is a domain controller on the network, but workstations aren't logging into the domain. Thanks.
