I have a w2k active directory server and I have configured several group
policies to restrict users. But I don't know how to restrict users from
saving information to the local machine (My Documents, local hard disk,
etc.)

Any information will be greatly appreciated. Please help... Mike

First, it really helps to carefully define you problem or need.

What do you really want to accomplish? Why shouldn't users save to "My
Documents"?
That is generally what it is designed for....

If you mean set a quota or limit, you can approach this with Quota settings
but these
much generally be configured locally. There are quota settings in the GPO,
more in
Win2003 GPOs, but they are not as full featured as you can set locally.

If you mean prevent saving ANY files, then where would users save their
documents
or even TEMP files for the programs they run?

Hello,
Would assigning only administrator access to it, then hiding the drive drive
help ? Please let me know if that works for you.

Heck man, I tried to help with this question a month ago and he still hasn't
answered with clarification.
