Confused about permanence of policy
Hi,
Thanks for the step-by-step, but I am a little confused by step #12: Whenever you open this MSC file (ex: Non-Administrators-Group-Policy.msc), it will only apply group policies to all users except administrators. (see screenshot below) I want the Group Policy I created to ALWAYS apply to limited user accounts automatically. How do I make that happen? Thanks! |

Hello Pallipe,
The MSC file that you created doesn't need to be kept running for the policy changes you make in it to remain enforced. The MSC file acts just like your normal Local Group Policy Editor, but will only enforce policies for all user accounts except those in the administrators group instead. If you wanted to make changes to that policy, then you would just need to run the MMC, make the changes you like, and close it. Any changes will be enforced as applied in that MSC file. That's all. ![]() |

This is a great help indeed. Thanks.
But I am just a beginner in System Administration. I have created .msc file successfully but I don't know how to configure different policies. For example I do not want a student account: 1. to be able to install/unstall a program. 2. to read/write in c:drive 3. access to internet. I don't know where to find these configuration in the .msc file. Please help. Regards |

Hello mq15,
The link below can help you to search and find whatever you need in group policy. Group Policy SearchIf you like for #1, you could use the tutorial below to disable access to "Programs and Features". Programs and Features - Enable or DisableIf you do #2, then the user will not be able to run Windows since that is on the C drive. They would at least need to have rights to read to be able to function. It would be best to post a separate thread for #3 to get a variety of options that may work best for you for this. Hope this helps some. ![]() |

Hello Globaluser, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Did you create the MSC for "Non-Administrators" before setting the policy with this MSC? You could either do a system restore using a restore point created before this, or reset group policy back to default to undo this. ![]() |
