prevent users from starting Windows Installer service

[Guest George Valkov]

How do I prevent limited users from starting the "Windows Installer"

service. Or how do I prevent users from starting any services at all?

 

Thank You for any help or web-link or group policy setting!

Hello,

 

this is not a good idea. Windows installer is part of the OS and is

needed/useful.

 

The solution to your office problem (replied on windows.security) is NOT to

block this service.

That's just a poor workaround...

As i just proposed to you on the windows.security forum, could you try:

msiexec /unregister

msiexec /register

 

to get rid of your office impersonation ?

A few years ago i used to work in a school and i prevented the users from

using the windows installer.

 

Do to it i used a group policy and it worked fine.
