Software Restriction through Group Policies

Posted by Nausherwan under Active Directory

If we want to restrict any software for usage through group policy.

1. Go to particular OU and right click on it and go into the Group policy properties.

2. Go to user configuration and click on Windows Settings —> Security Settings —->Software Restrictions.

3. In enforcement tab, we have to check all software files and All users except Local Administrator.

4. We have to define new path rule based policy.

5. Path will include that software installation path which you want to block. For e.g C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office. (What ever the software you want to block).

6. Close the Group policy console.
