Lock down & selcting printers

[Guest Park2]

I need to know how to create a user group that would only allow the client

to do the following:

 

1. Lockdown applications only run

Outlook

prog1.exe

prog2.exe

Firefox.exe

 

2. Mycomputer ( only view a certain mapped drive / folder eg P:\data)

 

3. We also have several printers shared on SRV1. Is there a batch utlity

that would automatically add three of the printers to that group. This is so

we do not have to setup printers everytime we add a new user.

That easiest done by using Software Restriction.

Lock down the TS further with a restrictive policy, hide all drives

except the P drive, use NTFS permissions on the file system.

You can do this in many different ways. From a command line (i.e.

inside your logon script), with the rundll32 command:

or use your favorite scripting tool (vb, kixtart, etc).
