I have disabled the cmd.exe in group policy for students which works fine. But they have find that creating a batch file and using command.exe, gives them a dos prompt as good as a xp prompt to cause mischieve.

I'm running a 2k3 server with sp2 and all XPsp2 workstations. I have some experience with group policy (this is just the latest addition to several policies I've set up), bu I'm having trouble with this one because I can't see the Control Panel administrative template option.

This obviously poses a problem since I can't have a home directory folder where all of the folder names are "documents". Does anyone know how to get around this or why ... 1 23.05.2007 14:46:09 Different Profile When Disconnected From Domain Hi, I've got a group policy applied to domain users that forces them to use a blank screensaver and locks their PCs when they've been inactive for 10 mins. This is fine in the domain environment, but there is a laptop user who needs this policy disabled when they're disconnected from the domain.

Hi, I have enabled the User Config/..../User profiles/Limit Profile Size property because I wanted to warn the users if their profile had grown too big.

I have since changed that and removed the profile path from each user. On those users systems I am getting errors that the re-direction failed. If I create a new user and copy one of the old users, they also get the same error. How can I get these errors to go away, aside from re-creating all the users. -- Chris Millette M... 8 23.05.2007 07:13:50 Windows 2000 server and XP Clients My DCs are still Windows 2000 SP4. My clients are all XP SP2 and a few 2000 SP4. My computer that I have a bunch of admin tools on is a Win XP SP2 computer. When I manage Group Policies for the domain from my XP computer I have a lot more options since I have newer ADM files than on the Windows 2000 servers.

It used to be that XP with SP2 was the platform of choice due to LISTBOX ADDITIVE attribute change in ADMs and the fact that XP with SP2 had the latest and greatest ADM set. It now seems that W2k3 with SP2 has the latest AMDs subset with some minor addition on top of what XP SP2 provided. So the question is. Should someone us... 8 23.05.2007 03:56:38 DHCP - Access denied For some reason I am getting a number servers giving me this error, The solution is to grant the NETWORK SERVICE account write permissions on two registry keys (I can't remember the KB article number that gives this solution).

The idea is the you can have departmental Admins who are NOT Domain Admins. You set it up by right-clicking an OU. My problem is that I don't know how it works behind the scenes. If you set up a domain Admin or even "force" a departmental Admin onto each machine, I can understand it - you are basically adding th... 12 22.05.2007 21:49:46 User Logon Script I have a question regarding user logon scripts distributed via GPOs. I have two GPOs applying to user on XPsp2, both with separate logon scripts specified (scripts are stored in the policies themselves), and I note that the scripts are executed once explorer.exe is ran. Is it true to say that GPOs are queried and the scripts are queued until explorer starts (by default)? What happen... 3 22.05.2007 21:30:00 GPMC/Migration table issue Hello, We have found an issue with the GPMC tool and I would like to know whether anyone has seen this before. Actually, we use a pre-prod domain to prepare and tests new GPOs. This pre-prod domain has been cloned from the production domain. So the domains have the same SIDs. Now, when we export a GPO from the pre-prod domain and reimport it into the production domain, there are some ... 1 22.05.2007 18:44:13 Block .exe files from home directories Is there a way to prohibit exe files from running out of a user's home directory?

I am trying to install Office 2007 via startup script. I have set up the installation point and permissioned it so domain computers have proper permissions to the files and folders inside the share. When the script runs at startup, it steps through properly but it never installs the software.
