Control Panel Disabled on all Workstations and Server

[Guest mukeshhtrivedi@gmail.com]

Hi

We have Windows XP workstations on network and connecting to

Windows 2003 Standard server.

 

today I created a Group Policy on Server to disable Control Panel and

to disable Run button and created

one TEST OU and moved our non used workstation to check wether it

works or

not and it worked, after that I removed the Group Policies and moved

back particular that workstation back to computers OU and removed TEST

OU, still Control Panel is disabled on workstations and servers.

 

Can you please guide me how can I get back Control Panel on all

workstations and servers.

Thanks,

I amm not familiar with this particular Policy, but I think you have not

grasped a general principle of Group Policy.

 

You had these workstations in an OU where the Group Policy on Control Panel

was Configured, and the Setting was Disabled.

 

You have probably moved them back into an OU where this policy is

Unconfigured - it will neither enable nor disable Control Panel, just leave

it alone.

 

So put them back in the TEST OU, Configure a group policy to enable Control

Panel, and after your Group Policy enforcement interval Control Panel will be

working again.
