APPENDIX B Group Policy Object
Group Policy Objects (GPO) should be used by the Active Directory Administrator to define and
configure settings for users.
Note: This documentation is based on Windows Server 2008. If you are running another
operating system, some of the options or names may differ.
Group Policy Management
The Active Directory Administrator should create a GPO for Kiosk users. Then link this GPO to the
organizational unit for Kiosk users.
Editing Group Policy Objects
Edit the GPO for Kiosk users with the Group Policy Management Editor.
Note: This is a suggestion — the Active Directory Administrator may have other restrictions
that should be placed on the Kiosk machine and users.
1. In Group Policy Management, right-click the GPO for Kiosk users and select Edit.
2. Go to User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates: Policy definitions (ADMX
files) and configure the following.
