Hi,
I manage a small community college network of 60 PCs.

I need to block the access to some programs folder for
certain users and allow it for some others. I am doing
this with local NTFS permissions on each PC, but every
time a change needs to be made, I have to do it on every
single one which is not hard, but is pretty tedious
instead. So I was wondering if this task can be
accomplished with GPO or any other tool.

I've been looking at Google and here, at technet, for a
week now without any success. Do you know if this is
possible, and if it is, how to do it?

Thanks in advance,
Pablo Medina
 
You can set NTFS security permissions in a GPO. You will need to configure
the paths and then set the permissions. "Computer config/Windows
settings/Security settings/File System/" you can add in paths to set the
permissions you need. Hope this helps!

Do those settings work in any group policy object (linked to certain
OUs only) or - does it have to be set through Default Domain Policy -
and is applied for all computers on the domain then?

NTFS Security permissions can be applied to any OU.
