478-Ability to delete all user remote access connections


Group Policy : Ability to delete all user remote access connections


Group Policy Guide

Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether users can delete all user remote access connections. To create an all-user remote access connection, on the Connection Availability page in the New Connection Wizard, click the For all users option. If you enable this setting, all users can delete shared remote access connections. In addition, if your file system is NTFS, users need to have Write access to Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk to delete a shared remote access connection. If you disable this setting (and enable the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting), users (including administrators) cannot delete all-user remote access connections. (By default, users can still delete their private connections, but you can change the default by using the Prohibit deletion of remote access connections setting.) 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 delete all user remote access connections. Important: When enabled, the Prohibit deletion of remote access connections setting takes precedence over this setting. Users (including administrators) cannot delete any remote access connections, and this setting is ignored. Note: LAN connections are created and deleted automatically by the system when a LAN adapter is installed or removed. You cannot use the Network Connections folder to create or delete a LAN connection. Note: This setting does not prevent users from using other programs, such as Internet Explorer, to bypass this setting.

477-Prohibit deletion of remote access connections


Group Policy : Prohibit deletion of remote access connections


Group Policy Guide

Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether users can delete remote access connections. If you enable this setting (and enable the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting), users (including administrators) cannot delete any remote access connections. This setting also disables the Delete option on the context menu for a remote access connection and on the File menu in the Network Connections folder. 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, all users can delete their private remote access connections. Private connections are those that are available only to one user. (By default, only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can delete connections available to all users, but you can change the default by using the Ability to delete all user remote access connections setting.) Important: When enabled, this setting takes precedence over the Ability to delete all user remote access connections setting. Users cannot delete any remote access connections, and the Ability to delete all user remote access connections setting is ignored. Note: LAN connections are created and deleted automatically when a LAN adapter is installed or removed. You cannot use the Network Connections folder to create or delete a LAN connection. Note: This setting does not prevent users from using other programs, such as Internet Explorer, to bypass 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.

468-Prohibit access to properties of components of a LAN connection


Group Policy : Prohibit access to properties of 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 and Network Configuration Operators can change the properties of components used by a LAN connection. This setting determines whether the Properties button for components of a LAN connection is enabled. If you enable this setting (and enable the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting), the Properties button is disabled for Administrators. Network Configuration Operators are prohibited from accessing connection components, regardless of the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting. Important: If the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators is disabled or not configured, this setting does not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Properties button is enabled for administrators and Network Configuration Operators. The Local Area Connection Properties dialog box includes a list of the network components that the connection uses. To view or change the properties of a component, click the name of the component, and then click the Properties button beneath the component list. Note: Not all network components have configurable properties. For components that are not configurable, the Properties button is always disabled. Note: When the Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection setting is enabled, users are blocked from accessing the Properties button for LAN connection components. Note: Network Configuration Operators only have permission to change TCP/IP properties. Properties for all other components are unavailable to these users. Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from accessing properties of components for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting.
