-
Make a Group Policy Object(GPO)
-
Add a policy(removes the clock from the task bar in user account) in that GPO.
-
Make an Orgonizational Unit(OU).
-
Add an user to it.
-
Link the new GPO to that OU
*This builds upon the previous System Administration project we did on the Active Directory.
-
Log into the DC VM as an administrtor and open up server manager.
-
Next, creating GPO: Tools>group policy management console>expand domain> expand group policy object> right click on group policy object> new> name it "Sample1 GPO"
-
Editing GPO: right click on newly created GPO "Samplle GPO">(we are going to hide the clock from the user computer) so expand user configuration > expand administrator template>open start menu and task bar>on the right find the right remove clock setting> doube click on the setting> now enable it>apply>ok>close> click on setting> it will generate a report>add>add>close.
-
Now that the GPO with a policy exists we need to connect it to a orgonizational unit with users in it.
-
right click on domain>new orgonizational unit(OU)> name it "rj" or whatever you like > right click on it> move the user from the user acoount> go to user> find user> right click and move to "rj" or drag>now the user is within the new OU.
-
to connect an existing group plicy to OU: right click on the OU>link existing group policies>select sample 1 GPO> add> close.
-
The selected user in that OU will have their clock removed from the Task bar.As an example here is my user account rpaul.
