    How do you mean Greebo? How did you change the student profile and from where can they see the rest of the server?

    A mandatory profile has been set up for the students. Each student uses this profile and all is tickerty-boo. Discovered yesterday that if a student double-clicks in the start menu on programs, that they can move things around and also that they can go up levels to view the network :ohmy


    Also, if they click on the address bar they can browse the network
    Don't want this to happen but I don't know how to stop it :( :cry:

    Do the changes they've made remain when they log out then back in again? How locked down do you have their settings? There are a whole host of restrictions you can make within group policy under

    User Configuration > Administrative templates

    These may help you to restrict their access.

    Their changes are to the actual mandatory profile mate, so its effects are carried over :eek: When we spot the changes, we put them right but need to stop the little @!*%$!*@ from making changes in the first place :rolleyes:

    I know bugger all about Policies apart from where they're kept so more info would be good :oops:

    Also want to lock out the image search capablities within google. I know it can be done but not sure how ?

    I would suggest that you log into your domain controller as administrator, go to Active Directory Users and Computers. Create a new Organisational Unit (OU) and name it test.

    Move one of the student computers into this new OU.

    Right click the new OU, go to properties and click on the Group Policy tab, then create a NEW policy.

    Edit the new policy elements that you require to lock down the computer, do this under the computer node rather than the user nodes.

    Test the results bearing in mind that Group policy takes time to propergate unless you force it immediately.

    When you are satified that you have achieved the correct level of lock down, you can move all the other computers into the new OU and the GPO will propergate to those as well.

    If all goes tits up, just move the computers back to where they were, delete the GPO you created and then delete the test OU
