    Hi all,

    After a bit of a break I am back in the cert hunt starting with 70-290..

    I am getting through it all quite well but have a general question...

    How can I prevent domain authenticated users and everyone from using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap in and viewing the Active Directory.. I have toyed with this very briefly by doing such things as assigning users and groups the deny read permission on the OU or object...

    I am only doing this in VMWare so its not a production environment but I am curious as to if/how this is done... I am worried I may use a permission which could bugger it all up!!

    That snap in is not there by default, it's only available when you install the admin pack *adminpak.msi*

    Thats a good point...

    But say if they do have it installed for whatever reason... this is just a theoretical security question!

    you can add a software restriction policey and add the path to the program for example C:\system32\ etc etc

    If someone has copied the file to another location so that path is not valid in the example then you could set a new hash rule

    All above done via gp
