Hi Ryan-
In short, this doesn't work. When I followed the instructions, I get only
the followinng policies in the GPO editor:
Prohibit use of Internet Connection Sharing on your DNS domain network
Prohibit use of Internet Connection Firewall on your DNS domain network
Prohibit installation and configuration of Network Bridge on your DNS domain
network
IEEE 802.1x Certificate Authority for Machine Authentication
None of these *enables* the ICF, the best these offer me is to disallow
turning it on.
Thoughts?
