Our old IT guy has all of the public computers here locked down using Group Policy. Our new computers are all windows 8. Looking for your input, if you are using group policy, as to how you have yours set up. I’ve not done much with group policies, so any help would be appreciated. From what I can see, it’s a pain to go in and disable all of them to be able to make changes to the computer if necessary, unless I am missing something that makes it quicker to undo them? Steve left abruptly, so I was never shown what he did exactly. I’ve just been figuring it out on my own. If someone has a good list of things to Enable/Disable, that would be greatly appreciated! Or other means to keep users from making changes and/or getting into things they shouldn’t…<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Brush Script MT";color:blue'>Tyson Horton<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>Systems Administrator<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>Williams County Public Library<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>107 East High Street<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>Bryan, OH 43506<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>419-636-6734 (voice)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>419-630-0408 (fax)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'><a href="http://www.mywcpl.org/"><span style='color:purple'>www.mywcpl.org</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
