Hi All,
I am running a W2k Domain and i want to know that is this possible that we can disable CD-ROM drive on all clients (member) through Group Policy in windows 2000. If yes please let me know that which option to select under MMC snap-in to implement this functionatlity.
Thanks :rolleyes:
You would have to look for it under Edit GPO, in Users and Computers, right click on the OU that the members are in are look around. I do not remember a GPO setting for CD-Rom, but that is the place to start. If not I think you would have to set local policy on the clients.

I want to implement through GPO and if i want to do the same with client policy....then i prefer to go for disable the CD-ROM from BIOS or unplugged it.
Unable to find the option as suggested by u.
Thanks
