When users access a session through a MetaFrame XP server, by default, they have access to all files, features and applications on the server. This gives a stray user the ability to detrimental effect all other users of the MetaFrame XP server.In order to prevent this behavior you will want to lockdown the environment through Computer and User Policies.
A Policy is a set of registry settings that defines the computer resources available to an individual or to a group of users. Policies define the various facets of the desktop environment that a system administrator needs to control, such as which applications are available, which applications appear on the users desktop, which applications and options appear in the Start menu, who can change their desktops and who cannot, and so forth. System policies can be implemented for specific users, groups, computers, or for all users.
In the following sections, I have documented how to implement Policies in both a Microsoft NT 4.0 and or Novell Netware environment and a Windows 2000 Active Directory environment.You will also find a great Administrative Template (MIAB.ADM) that incorporates most of the changes found throughout this document and a few more and how to add and configure it.
