Disable Services through Group Policy?

[jrjuiliano]

Was wondering if it's possible to disable certain services in group policy?

I've looked through TechNet and the web and can't find something definitive showing me I can do this.

I want to be able to kill off Messenger, Fax, etc. from my networks computers by domain policy, instead of doing this from each individual workstation.

Thanks much for any help! J.R. Juiliano

On the server, go to start>programs>administrative tools>domain security policy

Then go to system services.

When you choose to configure a specific service, a security screen pops up and you can choose to apply the policy to a group, a specific user, etc. Works like a charm.

I just remove the EVERYONE group and then add only the computers I want restricted.
