Hi all,
I have had this issue for a really long time that I had a workaround
for, but this workaround
has caused more harm than good.
The issue is when mapping 'LPT1'
I know this is a local LPT port, etc and I know that non-administrators
cannot map this port.
The port is needed by a legacy application, and it cannot be changed
until this application goes the way of all things.
So, to work around this issue I simply made everyone local admins on
their machines.
Problem is, now people download and install things and it is just a
nuisance.
I need a better workaround to this port issue, but non presents itself.
If I use devcon to disable the port, in theory I can map it
(devcon disable *PNP0401)
So, the thing that springs to mind is group policies.
This needs to happen at login, so is there a way to run this command as
an admin, then process your login script as the user?
Or, does someone have a real workaround?
Or, is my workaround the only way and I need to stand over peoples'
shoulders to keep them from downloading IMs and file sharing apps?
Thanks all.
