How to disallow group policies on windows 2000 servers

[Guest]

Hi Folks:
We have a corporate wide group policies which basically map drive letters
and automatically start our intranet site via Internet Explorer etc. After
awhile it gets annoying when I login to multiple servers. Is there a way to
only disallow the running of this group policy if an administrator or user is
logging into a windows 2000 server? Please advise.

Yes, you use what's called Group Policy Filtering.

Here's a how to:

This article covers granting to specific users and groups more than stopping
them, but the principle is the same. You simply use the deny permission in
your case instead of the allow permission.

Hi TJ

If the settings are applied via computer configuration in the GPO to the
computers, I don't know a way of avoiding it. If they are implemented via
user configuration in the GPO, you can deny the "apply group policy" right
to the admins that shouldn't have it.

Kind regards

Please note you'll need to strip ".online" from my email address to email
me; I'll post a response back to the group.

In the case of the servers, he should be able to deny the computer accounts
of the servers from running the GPO, correct?

I have never had a need to do this based on computer account... then again,
I usually have servers in a different OU than workstations and filter that
way.
