available ?

Hi aznan,


Use the following Administrative Template:
;-----------------------------------------------
CLASS MACHINE


CATEGORY !!category
CATEGORY !!WindowsExplorer


POLICY !!SimpleFileSharing
KEYNAME "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa"
EXPLAIN !!SimpleFileSharing_Explain
VALUENAME "ForceGuest"
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
END POLICY


END CATEGORY
END CATEGORY


[strings]
category = "Custom Policy Settings"
SimpleFileSharing = "Simple File Sharing"
WindowsExplorer = "Windows Explorer"
SimpleFileSharing_Explain = "Enable to enable Use simple file sharing.
Disable to disable Use simple file sharing."
;-----------------------------------------------

Thanks VMM , it works fine. One more quick question , how do i remove the
policy after importing it ?

Hi aznan,

You can remove the policy or only the template but in that template we are
using preferences instead of true policies which means that registry changes
are permanent even when you remove the policy.

Ok, how do i remove it please ? If the registry changes is still there , will
it cause any problem to my DC ?

Thank you very much VMM

Hi aznan,


Where did you link the policy that you use on your tests?
I suppose that you have created a new OU to test the policy

Yes , i've created a separate test OU but i have accidentally imported the
..adm in Default Domain Policy. How can i remove it from there ?

Hi aznan,

Just remove the template thru Group Policy Editor
