Hello,

We want to setup a group policy to remove MSN Messenger from certain
people. I cannot seem to find the option within the WIN2k DC, however I can
see if under a local policy of a XP Pro. How can I added it to the WIN2K DC
so I can manage it from one machine and not from each individual
workstation? Thanks in advance.

John
 
You will need to import the XP adm files. See the following link

One point though. Say you enter tetris.exe in the disallow group. My
users discovered that they could just rename it to Tatrix.exe, and slip
it by the policy.

Just as you can specify a 'Don't run specific Windows applications'
list, you can also specify a "Only run specific Windows Applications'
list which keeps them from cheating around.
