GPO for default gateway

musicolocopr · 10-10-2006, 10:08 AM

I have a LAN in server 2003 and all computers running xp. I have active directory running and I have separated my computers into two groups. group X and everyone else. I want to enforce a Default Gateway on everyone else and leave group X with the ability to change it.

How would I go about it on group policy if possible? I mean, I know it was not possible in windows 2000, but I was wondering if it was possible in 2003? If it's not, any ideas on how to tackle this? All input welcome.

thanks in advance.

You should be able to push down a policy to keep people from changing the TCP/IP properties and allow the group you want to change the TCP/IP properties.
