  I don't understand why people seem to be so eager to buy a product when
they can get adequate functionality for free. Group Policy is there and
surely you're using it anyway. AppSec is free and very simple to use. I
disagree with the statement that "a 3rd party product for desktop lockdown
is just about mandatory". AppSec and "Run only" via Group Policy give you
100% control of what apps the users run. They can email themselves apps all
day long, but they can't run them. Am I wrong about this?

Hi Robert,

The easiest way to get them frustrated is by using PowerFuse from RES.NL
It's not my favorite as anyone on this list might have seen, but I have to
be fair for the reason you are telling it's simply the best solution. I'm
runningit with several customers where they have (let's be nice) not to
smart users...and those who think they know computers becasue at home they
chatt the whole evening.  Nowdays they can't mail themselves any programs
(even renamed onces) or start any program stored in their homedrive (which
they hope I'll miss on my next scan). It gives you cood control over waht
they are doing and provides you with an underwater view to debug.

Hi Jeff,

Agreed, appsec is pretty simple-minded.

If you want real security, then a 3rd party product for desktop lockdown is
just about mandatory.

The other alternative is Windows server 2003 and software restriction
policies.

Rick
