Hi,If users are local admins they can do anything, so they must not be.
Very simple client server network setup i.e. SBS 2003 Standard Edition with
50 machines with 50 users. All machines are running Windows XP SP2.
All I want to do is to restrict users from:
1. Installing applications (e.g. Google earth, Napster etc.)
2. Deleting folders or files (apart from thier own My Documents)
3. Running MSN Messenger
For the moment, I have to give each user local administrative right so that
s/he can run bespoken application which creates new folder every day. If I
don't then this application fail to create folders. Any ideas how can I do
this? Many thanks.
Does the application work if you give the domain users group enough
privileges to create these folders where they have to be? If not, can
you get enough information from the software publisher to set the right
permissions?
Try a gentle hint that their poor installation methods are compromising
the security of the organisation, which is the literal truth. They
should have set the location of the folders to be somewhere safe, with
the correct permissions, on installation.
