asked on
GPO to limit files saved locally on a workstation?
I have a new one!
We have Roaming Profiles and now folder re-directions going, all our our workstations are Windows 7 Pro x64 and we have Server 2008 x64 as our back end AD/DC/DNS.
I have disabled USB devices for most of our office as they are not needed, i have various filtering on our untangle to block what we dont want.
Now the issue i have is, i have the music / video folders for people redirected to a server, however people are saving MP3 files to other folders such as their desktop, or my documents that they got from people over skype or that department has USB access.
I know i can block *.* server side, but is there a GPO that can be set to no allow people to save specific extensions to locations on their workstation systems?
Deny anyone from saving a *.mp3 to their desktop, but allow it to be saved in their music folder ?
