Setting up a secure set of restrictions for company user...
I am setting up some new laptops that will travel to dispatchers homes for them to work from home. But we are concerned about how to keep them from screwing things up too terribly. I used to use controls back in the day to limit things like right clicking on the desktop, accessing "All Programs" and to remove many things from the start menu.
My goal is:
Icons on Desktop for programs they need. IE, Firefox, Mapping and the program to manage the towing company.
Nearly total lockdown of the Start Menu - I have done this but only because I used Right Click on Start Button > Properties but since this can be changed just as easily to put it all back I need to restrict that. I can always install new programs and then manually put a link on their desktop!
No changing Clock, accessing any resolution settings etc. But I still need them to be able to join a wireless network at will. I dont want to have to give out a password or to travel to their homes to setup the wireless networks.
Thank you guys for anything you can lend to my little dilemma here. I was able to find the Group Policy Editor, but if I use that I have to grant admin level privs to their user name? Or is there a way to tell the GP Editor to apply the setting to a specified user?
