5804.0. "Policies ans standalone Workstations" by NBOFS1::HAHN (Power to the Bauer) Fri Mar 14 1997 04:13

    Hi,
    
    a customer is using NT 4.0 standalone Workstation only as X-clients
    from VMS. The Display should not show any icons or the taskbar. I know
    that policies will do almost all the work within a domain. Is it
    possible to implement policies in standalone WS? 
    I copied the Policy editor and the *.adm files over from the Server
    tools and created some policies. Where has the pol file to be placed that
    it will work on standalone WS? 
    
    
    regards
    
    Gerhard

5804.1	\repl\import	PGREEN::SACKMANJ	Pedalo'ing the Internet	`Sun Mar 16 1997 23:52`	4
	The pol file should be called NTCONFIG.POL in \winntroot\SYSTEM32\REPL\ IMPORT Jon.
5804.2	NETLOGON-Service not running	NBOFS1::HAHN	Power to the Bauer	`Tue Mar 18 1997 09:08`	7
	Jon, have you tested it? NETLOGON-Service is not running and is not used, as far as I can remember, on a standalone WS. Gerhard
5804.3	Policy Editor	NETRIX::"[email protected]"	Jeff Beaupre	`Tue Mar 18 1997 09:50`	5
	The policy editor in NT 4.0 can be used to modify the regestry. Since you are using a stand alone system this sould do everything you need Jeff [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

	>have you tested it? >NETLOGON-Service is not running and is not used, as far as I can >remember, on a standalone WS. The problem is that NETLOGON doesn't run on WS! It only works, as far as I know, when logon validation is performed by a server, so your WS needs to be part of a domain (which, if you're standalone you won't be!!) The location of the file for NTS is correct but we need NETLOGON running and picking up ntconfig.pol I'll ask on an MSN forum if it can be done. Jon.
5804.5	Correction	PGREEN::SACKMANJ	Pedalo'ing the Internet	`Wed Mar 19 1997 01:20`	7
	What I meant to say in .4 was: Policies only work, as far as I know, when logon validation is performed by a server, so your WS needs to be part of a domain (which, if you're standalone you won't be!!) Jon.
5804.6	it will work	NBOFS1::HAHN	Power to the Bauer	`Thu Mar 20 1997 08:46`	7
	Jon, when sharing NETLOGON on this WS and having NTCONFIG.POL in it, it will work. Gerhard
