What version of SBS are you dealing with? 2003 or 2008? You have some more capabilities in 2008 than 2003 for this sort of thing,

Hello PDC Guru's,

I am task with locking down a Microsoft SBS environment. The goal is to allow all currently installed application to be able to run but stop the installation of any new application (limewire, AOL messenger etc).

I am aware that I can use a Run only list or software restriction "path rule", but since both of these can be very time consuming if the users has lots of application installed.

Is there anyway to just allow all currently installed aops run access but block installation of new apps for a set of users?

Thank you in advance.
