Hi Robert N
If you don’t change anything you can leave it as is and it will not do anything.
If you would like to use SRP some day I would recommend you to create it in it’s own GP so it’s easy to turn off if you run into problems…

Regards G

Great article.
Couple of questions.
On an existing GP object, I selected ‘create new policies’ for SRP.
My questions are:
left as default, will this now hurt anything?

can this be undone?

Thanks,
ROb

Do you use Outlook connected to an Exchange server or standalone? I’ve done as you suggested above, but Outlook is still not pulling the feeds from CFL, even though the checkbox is checked. I’m running connected to Exchange.

Hi Will

Yes, it will require a new HASH rule if the installation puts in a new exe-file.

Hiya,

Excellent and informative article. I have used the HASH method to restrict WLM from running on user PC’s. One question though, if Messenger is ever updated will the HASH change and the restrictions have to be updated?

Many thanks in advance.

I can’t make the restricted GPO work.

This is what I’ve done :-

1 Opened Domain machine – GPO

2 Greated new GPO called “Local Administrators”

3 Created a new restricted user policy

4 In the top box (members) I have put the users that I want in the form domainname/userid

5 I don’t know what to put in the bottom box, so far I have tried Domain/Administrators, Administrators, Domain/Local Administrators.

In Each case, nothing happens.

Any Ideas – especially about what specifically to put in the lower box.

Cheers

Hi G Johansson,

Thanks, to be honest, I had already tried that and for some reason it didn’t work. Once you suggested the same thing, I had a go again and this time it has been successfully applied.

Thanks very much for your help. Hope that users will not find a way around and bypass the policy. Thanks again

Hi Lawrence

Of course not.
Either create/modify the GPO from a computer with live messenger installed

from you AD server browse to the file from your server to a client which has it installed or just copy the executable to somewhere on the AD server while creating the policy and when done you can remove it again.

I Hope you understand what I mean and that you of course don’t need to install software on your computer to use the rules for SRP.

Regards G Johansson

I followed your instructions and as a test, I successfully disabled Windows live messenger from my workstation using the Hash method.
Now I’m trying to set the same policy on my AD server so the policy will be applied to all workstations. The problem is that I do not have the Live messenger installed on my AD server, so when I try to browse for software location, I will not find it.
Do I have to install Live messenger on my server, hope note.

Thanks
