Hello all
I've been creating a custom security template and I've had no problems following the instructions and creating one. I've been able to find and configure all the settings EXCEPT for the ones listed below. I'll be darned if I can find them in the mmc console (under the template I've been building). Could someone point me in the right direction? Now I have the faint impresstion that I'll need to open up my *.inf file in notepad and add them to the bottom of the file by hand...is this true?
