asked on

Group Policy to prevent regular domain users from uninstalling programs

Hi,

I am trying to create and link a group policy to all regular domain users in my windows server 2008 AD. This group policy job is to prevent those users from uninstalling/removing any programs that was previously installed on their machines.

Knowing that all client PCs are using Windows 7.

Is there such GP to use.

Thank you

I have another admin that helps me manage the network in my absence.

I asked him if he used his admin rights to remove a symantec end point client from one workstation we have and he said he did not.

This version of symantec end point requires also a password to be removed.

Your right guys, I just checked removing the same program installed on another pc which is also joined to the domain using a different regular domain username, it asked me then for an admin log on info to proceed, hmmm!!!

The thing is that I found one of my domain workstation with no symantec client on!!! and I dont remember uninstalling it, and my other admin says the same too!!!

I also checked the pc for admin rights and all the other users if there was any of them with admin rights and the weird thing is that none of them has admin rights!!!!

I had the symantec end point client installed back on that machine but thats not enough.

I need to know what happend and what username was used at that time to uninstall that end point client from the workstation.

now I am so worried and I dont really know what to do beside changing our admin passwords!.
