hi

i have deployed xp sp2 with no problems and most of the settings i have entered in gpo are picked up by the clients perfectly.
however, i can not seem to get the "define program exceptions" applied to the clients.

i have entered * as the scope and entered the program as
%programfiles%\subfolder\executable.exe:*:enable:program name

when i go in to the clients i can see all the other settings i have entered apart form the program above!!!

it's just not there at all.

I can't seem to understand it.

please help......

might be a problem with the syntax of how you enter it..

sorry, can't check more, i'm on mandrake at the moment :)

hi

it was me making a mistake.
i had type in "enable" - it should have been "enabled"
change it - ran gpupdate /force reboot clients and it worked.

i'm a fool!!!!!

thanks anyway
