(If you haven't, start here.) That change converts our proprietary ADM format for templates to an XML-based ADMX format. ... Wed, 03 Oct 2007 08:32:00 0500 http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=5621 Microsoft just released a free Group Policy best practices analyzer.

This time it is an article on how to use Group Policies to help configure Citrix Client settings. It has always been relatively easy to install/distribute Citrix ICA clients to workstations in the past. This can be done via Citrix Web Interface, the Citrix Automatic Client Update Utility, or even Active Directory. ... Wed, 23 May 2007 03:00:37 0500 http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=4498 This is a question that seems to always come back in Microsoft Group Policy newsgroups.

Yet another option is to download data to an MP3 player or cell phone. Vista gives you a way to block the use of these devices through Group Policy. You can allow people to read data on their devices but not wr...
