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.

502-Connect home directory to root of the share


Group Policy : Connect home directory to root of the share

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000
Group Policy Explain :
   Restores the definitions of the %HOMESHARE% and %HOMEPATH% environment variables to those used in Windows NT 4.0 and earlier. If you enable this setting, the system uses the Windows NT 4.0 definitions. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the system uses the new definitions designed for the Windows 2000 operating system. Along with %HOMEDRIVE%, these variables define the home directory of a user profile. The home directory is a persistent mapping of a drive letter on the local computer to a local or remote directory. By default, in Windows 2000 Server Family, %HOMESHARE% stores the fully qualified path to the home directory (such as \\server\share\dir1\dir2\homedir). Users can access the home directory and any of its subdirectories from the home drive letter, but they cannot see or access its parent directories. %HOMEPATH% stores a final backslash and is included for compatibility with earlier systems. On Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, %HOMESHARE% stores only the network share (such as \\server\share). %HOMEPATH% stores the remainder of the fully qualified path to the home directory (such as \dir1\dir2\homedir). As a result, users can access any directory on the home share by using the home directory drive letter. Tip: To specify a home directory in Windows 2000 Server Family, in Active Directory Users and Computers or Local Users and Groups, right-click the name of a user account, click Properties, click the Profile tab, and in the Home folder section, select the Connect option and select a drive letter and home directory. Example: Drive Z is mapped to \\server\share\dir1\dir2\homedir. If this setting is disabled or not configured (Windows 2000 Server Family behavior): -- %HOMEDRIVE% = Z: (mapped to \\server\share\dir1\dir2\homedir) -- %HOMESHARE% = \\server\share\dir1\dir2\homedir -- %HOMEPATH% = \ If the setting is enabled (Windows NT 4.0 behavior): -- %HOMEDRIVE% = Z: (mapped to \\server\share) -- %HOMESHARE% = \\server\share -- %HOMEPATH% = \dir1\dir2\homedir
