How to disable .EXE files to be run from Group Policy

I would like to know how to disable .exe files from GP?
Thanks in advance

All exe files icluding calc.exe, notepad.exe and explorer.exe or just some exe files?
There are different approaches to this.
If you're trying to block a single executable that you're familiar with you can disable it from a GPO using the setting:
User Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Don't run specified Windows applications
Another option is to specify only the applications you want to allow Using:
User Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Run only specified Windows applications
This one would probably take a lot of work to populate for a system with many applications installed or for a corporate environment.
None of the two mentioned settings takes into account that a user can name their exe file what they want so renaming mydangerousapp.exe to explorer.exe would make it a perfectly legitimate executable.
A more robust and managable way of securing your systems by controlling which applications that can be launched is Software Restriction Policies.

  • How to genrate EXE file

    Hi to all
    is it possible .....
    I am working on a project ,and i have made its GUI in Lab-view 8.5
    i don't want to install Lab-view on the system where the project about to install
    mean there is no need to install the complete lab-view software ..
    is it possible to generate the such type of "exe" file that can be run with out lab-view on that
    system ?? like Turbo C Exe file,, OR which part of lab-view i will have to install on the system
    by which i can run the application properly.
    i had generated exe file of that project
    from application builder (project explorer--> build specification)
    but it can not be run without software
    can anybody tell me how i can do this ??
    waiting for yours replies

    You also need the Professional Version of LabVIEW to build exe's. (if memory serves)
    Yes, LabVIEW professional or the application builder add-on.
    Since he said that he built an exe already, we can assume that the OP has the application builder.
    LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

    dot e x e files are PC executables.  They will not work on a PowerBook unless you have an appropriate Windows PC emulator, such as Virtual PC on the machine, which BTW runs very slowly on my TiBook so I don't use it very often.  (Actually, I haven't used it for anything that actually worked in several years.)

  • Random exe-files won't run on windows. Driver related?

    Hope someone smarter than me can find an answer to this...
    I've tried running a bunch of games via bootcamp and random exe-files won't run. A couple of times the setup.exe wouldn't start and other times the installations go fine but the game itself refuses. I get a short flash of a dos prompter that disappears within the fraction of a second and then nothing happens at all.
    I get the same thing weather I run XP SP3 or Win 7 x86 and I've probably tried ten games all together.
    I'm thinking it must somehow be driver (or else way BootCamp) related since all games have been successfully run on native PCs.
    Any ideas?

    I get a short flash of a dos prompter that disappears within the fraction of a second and then nothing happens at all.
    That sounds almost like trouble with your Windows Installer.
    What versions of Windows installer are you running for each of your OSes?
    A quick way to check: bring up a Run line, type msiexec and hit the Enter key. The Windows Installer version should be at the top of the information screen that comes up.

  • Aggregator EXE files won't run

    Hi,
    I'm new to using Captivate and I recently created my first Captivate-based lesson. I have 5 discrete learning modules each with their own multiple-choice quiz, so I decided it would be best to make 5 different projects and then stitch them together using Aggregator. I want to publish both an APP file for Mac users and an EXE file for PC folks. The APP file I create in Aggregator runs just fine, but the EXE file won't run. There are no error messages, it just doesn't do anything when you try to run the file.
    Here is what I have tried (without success):
    Both XP and Win 7 (won't run on either)
    Installing newest version of Flash Player
    Running the EXE file as an Admin
    Oddly enough, if I publish each of the 5 projects as an EXE separately, they run just fine. My back-up plan is to make the PC users open each of the 5 modules separately, but I'd prefer to avoid this if I can.
    Am I doing something wrong in Aggregator? It seems pretty simple and the APP file works...
    Thanks for any help!
    Jess

    Hi Rod,
    That was a great idea. Unfortunately, none of the 5 Aggregator EXE files (each with one of the 5 projects missing from it) worked. I double-checked the 5 EXE files that I published individually directly from Captivate (without Aggregator) and all of them work just fine. It's looking like I need to go with plan B and just force my users to return repeatedly to the CD-ROM to open each subsequent module.
    I asked a friend to run the Aggregator-created APP file on his Mac and it wouldn't run for him even though it will run for me on my Mac. So I'm thinking I will need to publish each of the 5 projects as separate APP files as well and the Mac and PC folks will be in the same boat.
    Thanks,
    Jess

  • How to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports

    I would like to know how to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports.
    Thanks,

    Please make your question more clear . Also mention the reports version.
    1) If you are runnning reports in Unix, you can give
    .... destype=file desformat=pdf desname=<filename>
    in command line
    Please refer docs below.
    2) If by your question you mean
    "My reports server is running in Windows but I want to ftp my files to Unix after creating it"

    Authorize your new computer's iTunes first - Store>Authorize this computer.
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

  • How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

    How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

    What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
    If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
    However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.
