Spyware and Policy's

[Chris Chase]

I am the admin for a k-12 school. I use roaming profiles
and group policys to control the user systems. Is there
an add in for the group policy MMC so that I can do all
of the settings for the user Micro Spyware program for
them from the server?

No. In its present version, Microsoft AntiSpyware is unsuitable for use in
a domain environment. It enables end-users to escape from some of the
network-enforced policies, for instance.

Microsoft have said that eventually they will produce a version of
AntiSpyware that is capable of being controlled in the way you ask, but that
version will not be free of charge. The version for single-user PCs will
remain a free download under Windows Genuine Advantage, but will not have
the network features you need.
