Hi,

Apart from setting the user up as a member of the users group on the
workstation, what other lockdown mechanism can i use.
I have a user who's husband is in our line of work but he keeps on telling
her how to do this and that.

What other methods are effective and not disruptive to the general
operation.

I've used the default policy in the domain but they affect the admins too.

Such as :-
Disabling task manager
Disabling windows update
Disabling regedit
Disabling run
Disabling the taskbar & start menu

I've had to place the user as a member of the user group(workstation) due to
their bad nature.
I read about Organisation Units but I'm a bit stuck.

I would love some feedback on how to go about this.

Thank you

webboy

Hello,

Firstly, you shouldn't normally edit the Default Domain Policy. This will
cause problems later (if you want to undo your changes).
Also, you have already spotted that it affects everything.

Instead, Create a New organizational Unit within "Domain User and
Computers". Just try it as an experiment!
You can then create a New Group Policy within the Properties of the
Organizational Unit.

You can control most things from here (including the settings for microsoft
office)

Here is a good starting point:

You will have to be careful about "picking" on individual employees / users,
though.
Each machine should be configured to the requirements of each group of
users.

We have an "acceptable use policy" in place. It helps to clarify where
EVERYONE stands in relation to computer use.
