Yes, actually I have searched in Google, and I have read some of the things
that came up. It seems that articles that are recommended by others usually
contain more applicable material, so I always ask to see what others have
read. I'm assuming, but not certain that Group policy settings on my Windows
2K Adv Server will still apply to the XP machines, and I am not finding
anything about how to use Group Policy to allow only a specific program to be
installed. Thanks for your post, I still want to read over the sites you
listed. I have not looked into SUS, because just worrying about learning
group policy seems like a mountain at the moment, with the 27 projects that
all need completed at once.. ahhhhh, life in IT is grand, ain't it ;-).
