Prevent Set up a new connection or network in Network and sharing Center
Hi I am looking for a way to disable the new connection functionality in Network and sharing center. I guess the same policy would block the Add VPN in IE menu (which i would also like to disable) I know i could simply remove access to the page in IE and the applet in control panel, but that would mean the users don't have 'read only' access to the information about their IP, etc... which also means that support is less easy. thanks in advance brunobruno

I would still recommend to disable cmd, disable the unneeded control panel items and disable internet explorer configurations through GPO if you surely want to restrict users from making or viewing configurations. To have all information needed by support available, a good (and often used) solution is to publish this information to the user's desktop by using bginfo (from sysinternals, Microsoft)MCP/MCSA/MCTS/MCITP

Hi I know that i can hide the applet or tab completely, and will do it as an alternative if i don't find a way to disable this setting. I want the users to be able to see the settings, without changing those (when possible of course). bruno
