RE: [ActiveDir] How to restrict .exe file copy on my local exchange server

[Ulf B. Simon-Weidner]

Hello Manjeet,   using Software restriction policies you can only block the execution of files, however I understand that you want to avoid copying of new exe-files in the system32 directory.   You could do this with Windows Server 2003 R2 by using File Screening, but if you apply it to the system folder I’d be very careful and test it prior to implementation. Also be aware that you need to disable the file screening policy every time you are deploying an update or servicepack or when you are installing new components.   Gruesse - Sincerely, Ulf B.
