Hi,

Is there any script, where I can block Bluetooth and Infrared devices, and apply the script through Group Policy of Active Directory.

Active Directory is Windows 2008 - SP1.

Awaiting your reply....

Answer 1

Hi kiran,

You can perform the following

a) Create a GPO on windows 2008 AD

b) Edit the GPO and select the following
    Computer Configuration > Security Settings. You'll notice a node called Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies which you can modify
    accordingly

c) create a network policy rule and apply to clients.

But there is a catch , if you check the xp clients there is no wirless GPO available, for which you need to copy files from windows 2008 and then 
register them into xp

such as

• wlsnp.dll
• wlstore.dll

then regsvr32 wlsnp.dll
