Sh4dow Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hello,I set up a test environment at my house that includes the following:1 windows 2000 server w/ sp42 windows xp pro w/ sp2I 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilifrei64 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 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.
