Hi,
Can we disable audio device by group policy in windows 2000 domain.

You can create a ADM Template and disable the driver in CurrentControlSet.

Import -> mark "adm templates" -> View -> Filtering
uncheck "show only fully managed" ...

like this:
----- sound.adm -----
; you have to find the right Key for the driver, replace "aeaudio"
; with your driverkey in Registry
; Start = 4 (disable), 3 (manual), 2(automatic), 1 (system), 0 (boot)

Class Machine
CATEGORY "Hardware Control"
POLICY "Disable Soundcard"
KEYNAME "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\aeaudio"
PART "HW: Analog Devices (Soundmax)" Checkbox
VALUENAME "Start"
VALUEON NUMERIC 4 VALUEOFF "3"
END PART
END POLICY ;Disable Soundcard
END CATEGORY ;Hardware Control

----- sound.adm -----
