566-Request credentials for network installations


Group Policy : Request credentials for network installations

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000
Group Policy Explain :
   Prompts users for alternate logon credentials during network-based installations. This setting displays the Install Program As Other User dialog box even when a program is being installed from files on a network computer across a local area network connection. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, this dialog box appears only when users are installing programs from local media. The Install Program as Other User dialog box prompts the current user for the user name and password of an administrator. This setting allows administrators who have logged on as regular users to install programs without logging off and logging on again using their administrator credentials. If the dialog box does not appear, the installation proceeds with the current user's permissions. If these permissions are not sufficient, the installation might fail, or it might complete but not include all features. Or, it might appear to complete successfully, but the installed program might not operate correctly. Note: If it is enabled, the Do not request alternate credentials setting takes precedence over this setting. When that setting is enabled, users are not prompted for alternate logon credentials on any installation.

565-Do not request alternate credentials


Group Policy : Do not request alternate credentials

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000
Group Policy Explain :
   Prevents users from submitting alternate logon credentials to install a program. This setting suppresses the Install Program As Other User dialog box for local and network installations. This dialog box, which prompts the current user for the user name and password of an administrator, appears when users who are not administrators try to install programs locally on their computers. This setting allows administrators who have logged on as regular users to install programs without logging off and logging on again using their administrator credentials. Many programs can be installed only by an administrator. If you enable this setting and a user does not have sufficient permissions to install a program, the installation continues with the current user's logon credentials. As a result, the installation might fail, or it might complete but not include all features. Or, it might appear to complete successfully, but the installed program might not operate correctly. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Install Program As Other User dialog box appears whenever users install programs locally on the computer. By default, users are not prompted for alternate logon credentials when installing programs from a network share. If enabled, this setting overrides the Request credentials for network installations setting.

556-Prevent access to drives from My Computer

Group Policy : Prevent access to drives from My Computer

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000
Group Policy Explain :
   Prevents users from using My Computer to gain access to the content of selected drives. If you enable this setting, users can browse the directory structure of the selected drives in My Computer or Windows Explorer, but they cannot open folders and access the contents. Also, they cannot use the Run dialog box or the Map Network Drive dialog box to view the directories on these drives. To use this setting, select a drive or combination of drives from the drop-down list. To allow access to all drive directories, disable this setting or select the Do not restrict drives option from the drop-down list. Note: The icons representing the specified drives still appear in My Computer, but if users double-click the icons, a message appears explaining that a setting prevents the action. Also, this setting does not prevent users from using programs to access local and network drives. And, it does not prevent them from using the Disk Management snap-in to view and change drive characteristics. Also, see the Hide these specified drives in My Computer setting.

486-Prohibit viewing of status for an active connection


Group Policy : Prohibit viewing of status for an active connection

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether users can view the status for an active connection. Connection status is available from the connection status taskbar icon or from the Status dialog box. The Status dialog box displays information about the connection and its activity. It also provides buttons to disconnect and to configure the properties of the connection. If you enable this setting, the connection status taskbar icon and Status dialog box are not available to users (including administrators). The Status option is disabled in the context menu for the connection and on the File menu in the Network Connections folder. Users cannot choose to show the connection icon in the taskbar from the Connection Properties dialog box. Important: If the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the connection status taskbar icon and Status dialog box are available to all users.

476-Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection


Group Policy : Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection


Group Policy Guide

Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether users can view and change the properties of their private remote access connections. Private connections are those that are available only to one user. To create a private connection, on the Connection Availability page in the New Connection Wizard, click the Only for myself option. This setting determines whether the Properties menu item is enabled, and thus, whether the Remote Access Connection Properties dialog box for a private connection is available to users. If you enable this setting (and enable the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting), the Properties menu items are disabled, and no users (including administrators) can open the Remote Access Connection Properties dialog box for a private connection. Important: If the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, a Properties menu item appears when any user right-clicks the icon representing a private remote access connection. Also, when any user selects the connection, Properties appears on the File menu. Note: This setting takes precedence over settings that manipulate the availability of features in the Remote Access Connection Properties dialog box. If this setting is enabled, nothing within the properties dialog box for a remote access connection will be available to users. Note: This setting does not prevent users from using other programs, such as Internet Explorer, to bypass this setting.

473-Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection


Group Policy : Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection


Group Policy Guide

Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether users can change the properties of a LAN connection. This setting determines whether the Properties menu item is enabled, and thus, whether the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box is available to users. If you enable this setting (and enable the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting), the Properties menu items are disabled for all users, and users cannot open the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box. Important: If the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, a Properties menu item appears when users right-click the icon representing a LAN connection. Also, when users select the connection, Properties is enabled on the File menu. Note: This setting takes precedence over settings that manipulate the availability of features inside the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box. If this setting is enabled, nothing within the properties dialog box for a LAN connection is available to users. Note: Nonadministrators have the right to view the properties dialog box for a connection but not to make changes, regardless of this setting.

475-Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection


Group Policy : Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection


Group Policy Guide

Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether a user can view and change the properties of remote access connections that are available to all users of the computer. To create an all-user remote access connection, on the Connection Availability page in the New Connection Wizard, click the For all users option. This setting determines whether the Properties menu item is enabled, and thus, whether the Remote Access Connection Properties dialog box is available to users. If you enable this setting, a Properties menu item appears when any user right-clicks the icon for a remote access connection. Also, when any user selects the connection, Properties appears on the File menu. If you disable this setting (and enable the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting), the Properties menu items are disabled, and users (including administrators) cannot open the remote access connection properties dialog box. Important: If the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you do not configure this setting, only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can change properties of all-user remote access connections. Note: This setting takes precedence over settings that manipulate the availability of features inside the Remote Access Connection Properties dialog box. If this setting is disabled, nothing within the properties dialog box for a remote access connection will be available to users. Note: This setting does not prevent users from using other programs, such as Internet Explorer, to bypass this setting.

474-Prohibit Enabling/Disabling components of a LAN connection


Group Policy : Prohibit Enabling/Disabling components of a LAN connection


Group Policy Guide

Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether administrators can enable and disable the components used by LAN connections. If you enable this setting (and enable the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting), the check boxes for enabling and disabling components are disabled. As a result, administrators cannot enable or disable the components that a connection uses. Important: If the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Properties dialog box for a connection includes a check box beside the name of each component that the connection uses. Selecting the check box enables the component, and clearing the check box disables the component. Note: When the Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection setting is enabled, users are blocked from accessing the check boxes for enabling and disabling the components of a LAN connection. Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from enabling or disabling components for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting.

472-Prohibit adding and removing components for a LAN or remote access connection


Group Policy : Prohibit adding and removing components for a LAN or remote access connection

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether administrators can add and remove network components for a LAN or remote access connection. This setting has no effect on nonadministrators. If you enable this setting (and enable the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting), the Install and Uninstall buttons for components of connections are disabled, and administrators are not permitted to access network components in the Windows Components Wizard. Important: If the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Install and Uninstall buttons for components of connections in the Network Connections folder are enabled. Also, administrators can gain access to network components in the Windows Components Wizard. The Install button opens the dialog boxes used to add network components. Clicking the Uninstall button removes the selected component in the components list (above the button). The Install and Uninstall buttons appear in the properties dialog box for connections. These buttons are on the General tab for LAN connections and on the Networking tab for remote access connections. Note: When the Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection, Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection, or Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection settings are set to deny access to the connection properties dialog box, the Install and Uninstall buttons for connections are blocked. Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from adding and removing connection components, regardless of this setting.

470-Prohibit TCP/IP advanced configuration


Group Policy : Prohibit TCP/IP advanced configuration

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether users can configure advanced TCP/IP settings. If you enable this setting (and enable the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting), the Advanced button on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box is disabled for all users (including administrators). As a result, users cannot open the Advanced TCP/IP Settings Properties page and modify IP settings, such as DNS and WINS server information. Important: If the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you disable this setting, the Advanced button is enabled, and all users can open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box. Note: This setting is superseded by settings that prohibit access to properties of connections or connection components. When these policies are set to deny access to the connection properties dialog box or Properties button for connection components, users cannot gain access to the Advanced button for TCP/IP configuration. Note: Nonadministrators (excluding Network Configuration Operators) do not have permission to access TCP/IP advanced configuration for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting. Tip: To open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box, in the Network Connections folder, right-click a connection icon, and click Properties. For remote access connections, click the Networking tab. In the Components checked are used by this connection box, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click the Properties button, and then click the Advanced button. Note: Changing this setting from Enabled to Not Configured does not enable the Advanced button until the user logs off.
