Safeguard Catalogue - Hardware & Software Remarks<br />

____________________________________________________________________ .........................................<br />

For reasons of standardisation, the system guidelines should be managed<br />

primarily through the configuration of user groups.<br />

Under Windows 95, group guidelines are installed via CONTROL PANEL /<br />

SOFTWARE / WINDOWS / SETUP and located by default in the directory<br />

named ADMIN\APPTOOLS\POLED<strong>IT</strong>\GROUPPOL.INF.<br />

<strong>The</strong> names of the user groups must correspond to those of the user groups<br />

configured under Novell Netware or Windows NT.<br />

Furthermore, to ensure correct <strong>IT</strong> operation, the program named<br />

POLED<strong>IT</strong>.EXE must not be installed on the local Windows 95 computer, as<br />

anyone could use this program to perform persistent modifications to the valid<br />

system guidelines.<br />

Also, the BootKeys parameter in the file named MSDOS.SYS should be<br />

changed (BootKeys=1) to prevent Windows 95 from starting in the<br />

"protected" mode. This ensures observance of the system guidelines.<br />

Finally, the BIOS of the computer should be set to prevent a system boot from<br />

a floppy disk, and the floppy-disk drive should be furnished with a lock to<br />

discourage the use of unauthorised software.<br />
