Does anyone out there know if I can either password protect or implement some local or domain group policy, that would restrict a user from using the Restore Previous Version on Shadow Copy? I installed the Shadow Copy client on all our workstations and belive it or not some of our users are getting in trouble with this feautre. Also in a worse case scenerio I am not really sure ho to uninstall the Shadow Copy client.

Thanks Octacian

If a user has permissions to the folder on the File server, then they can use shadow copy if they have the client. You will need to disable shadow copy on the entire volume or remove the client.
