I have a Windows 2000 server with Windows 2000 and XP clients.

Does anyone know any ways I can disable Universal PNP on my XP clients
using Group Policies or login script code?

I've played around with unpnp, but it requires local admin privs, which
we do not assign to our everyday users.

Thanks

Prepare an ADM template with proper settings for this service and add
this template to GPO:

Then disable this service in this GPO using imported ADM setting and
apply the GPO

Thanks,

I'll see If I can write an ADM template. I'm not a coder so it's all a
little foreign to me, but will give it a try.
 
Otherwise try this. On one of your XP computers open the mmc snapin for security
templates. Make a new template and in that template configure the service you want
disabled. Save the template. Create a test OU for your XP computers with a new GPO.
In that GPO go to computer configuration/Windows settings/security settings. Right
click security settings and select import. Import the .inf file you created. Exit out
and then go back in to see if under services the wanted service is set to disabled.
Assuming it is, put a test XP computer in that OU and reboot it to see if the service
is disabled as you want. If all looks well, move the other XP computers into that OU
or import the template into the OU where they exist. --- Steve
