Restricted Groups
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Restricted Groups
Restricted groups allow an administrator to define two properties for
security-sensitive groups (that is, "restricted" groups).
The two properties are Members and Member Of. The Members list defines who
should and should not belong to the restricted group. The Member Of list
specifies which other groups the restricted group should belong to.
When a restricted Group Policy is enforced, any current member of a
restricted group that is not on the Members list is removed. Any user on the
Members list which is not currently a member of the restricted group is
added.

G/day forum,
I've got a couple of things I want to ask in relation to what I can and
cannot do with Group Policy. So, here goes:
1. Can I disable the usage of USB drives? [Christoffer Andersson] yes, If
you know the assigned driver letter.
2. Can I disable the usage of Floppy drives? [Christoffer Andersson] Yes.
3. Can I control the network shares on my Workstations? [Christoffer
Andersson] Not sure what you mean with "Control" , You can handle much with
Group Policy and few lines of VB for manage worksation shares
4. Can I control the local users on systems? Group membership, etc.... [Christoffer Andersson] Yes
If any of ye guru's know the answer can ye let me know if its possible and
how I would go about doing it.
Regards,
Steve.
