We are also testing XP pro Service pack 2 beta, and it has to be
loosened up for some websites to work properly. So the spyware/adware
seems to be just as bad on the test workstations.

We are not on 2003 yet so my answer is no. However I've read out in the
wild
and here on this list that these policies tend to be too restrictive and
people are having to disable it.

Jim,
I am really curious as to whether or not the new Microsoft Software
Restriction Policies have been used to successfully lock down a Windows
2003
Terminal Server. The article makes specific reference to the use of
these
new policies to block the execution of unauthorized "user installed"
code.
Are you using these new polices on your Citrix servers?
Cheers,

Bernd,
I remember I posted this same link sometime last year asking the same
question only for XP. : ) I believe these policies are in XP Embedded
also
and I just signed off on a new image for us on 200 more NetX's that uses
these policies as part of it.
Once we start getting them out to our branches I'll let you know how it
goes.
Regards,
Jim Kenzig
