Hi All,
I want to stop the Messenger and Alerter service using group policy. I have a Group Policy at the top of the Domain structure in Active Directory Users and Groups that i will use to do this.
I thought i had the answer when i enter the policy and found under computer management>security settings>services. So i set the access to everyone Deny, and disable service.
This did not work, the computers still were able to do net send “computer” “message”. So then i tried setting the policy to make these services manual. This did not work either.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Note – My network is too large to go to each computer and diable these services.
One last thing, are you able to restrict access to things locally as well as on the domain. In other words, could i set a policy to restrict local admin from accessing certain areas rather than setting up local restictions on each machine.
Thankyou
