Our Executive Director has asked me to lock down the computers in one of our
departments so the users can't install or change anything on their computer.
I made sure the users did not have admin rights, but they still seem to be
able to install screen savers, file sharing programs, etc. Can I lock them
down with group policies? Can someone recommend a good starting point for
learning how to implement them for certain users or machines? We use win2k
pro workstations and a win2k server domain controller. Thanks.
