Guest George Valkov Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 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! George Valkov
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Re: prevent users from starting Windows Installer service 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...

Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Re: prevent users from starting Windows Installer service 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 ? -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "George Valkov" <a@b.com> wrote in message news:e20BKyX4HHA.4676@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > How do I prevent limited users from starting the "Windows Installer" > service.

Guest shimoni Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 RE: prevent users from starting Windows Installer service 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. -- MCSE 2003 "George Valkov" wrote: > How do I prevent limited users from starting the "Windows Installer" > service.
