Hey guys, thanks for the rapid response on GPO defined access to particular machines, worked like a charm!
My next question revolves around IE GPO security settings. We want to inhibit the installation of all but "allowed" ActiveX controls. Most things are found in User Configuration\Windows Settings\IE Maintenance, but two major things stand out now: 1. How does one "approve" the ActiveX controls (say, Flash) 2. How does one suppress the 'Security settings don't allow ActiveX...' dialog. My users get the idea already =) Malachi -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger Seielstad Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 12:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Outlook 2003 via GPO? Crap. That's faster than I'd expect. I've got my deployment guy looking over the stuff that's been posted and I think we're gonna try it. I still need to lay down a good DFS tree though - we've got remote offices to worry about... -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
