Disable games in active directory

 

how can disable games in active directory? forgot deinstall them in old images , want disable them active directory. there exist rule this? or sugest. maybe specific adm-file?

thx on advance windows server 2003 , users have windows xp sp2 dutch.

step 1, disable execution

people don't tend find many buffer overflows or other exploits in games come standard windows. therefor games in windows not updated often. enables make software restriction based on hash rule effective in disabling execution of programs. (despite users moving or renaming them)

 

step 2, remove shortcuts start menu

on top of software restriction policy can write script deletes *.lnk files start menu, or alternatively redirect start menu network share.

 

step 3, uninstall games

as third action might silently uninstall games running silent uninstall string logon script or build package performs actions uninstall the games (for instance using autoit or aibuilder) and install package remotely using group policies. alternatively can use sysocmgr.exe

 

note:

i'm glad posted question in windows server 2008 forum, since group policy preferences can make life easier when copying kind of issues.
