Applying Group Policy

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I set up a test environment at my house that includes the following:

1 windows 2000 server w/ sp4

2 windows xp pro w/ sp2

I want to be able to restrict drives on the client machines as a test. I found the settings in group policy that allow me to do this. However, when I restrict the drives it doesn't affect the 2 client machines.

I created the group policy on my domain (lets say it's called Hello.com) and I placed it before the default policy but I can't get it to work.

What am I doing wrong?

First create an AD structure..

Secondly.. never apply something like restrict access to drives at the top of your domain..(yeah it is only a test network but still)

You cannot apply a group policy to the default Computers OU so create another OU called test computers and apply it there.

You can restrict access to drives in 2 places.. via machine or via user.. which one are you using.

I recommend restricting them per user.. this way you can still get to them as admin.

create a group called restricted_users and apply the policy to them and remove authenticated users.
