Hi achapman5.<br />

Could you specify what type of access you blocked (and why) and what type of access these users will need? Because I wonder what you tried to achieve by blocking &quot;access&quot; in the first place. If you simply denied write access it should be obvious how to undo that. If however you hid the drive from display in windows explorer, it's no real protection.

We have most of users' ability to access the C: blocked. We have a specific application that requires C: drive access so we wanted to allow that access but only on specific computers. What are some recommendations to override this User Policy to disallow C: access on specific computers?

On specific computers, we'd like to override a domain-wide policy that disallows C: access by user. Possible?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
