38 Microsoft Windows NT Server White Paper
• What type of restrictions do you want to impose on users?
• Will users be allowed to access locally installed common group applica-
tions, or will these be overridden by administrator-defined program groups,
desktop icons, Start menu programs, and so forth?
• What other options are available if you simply want to restrict access to a
specific icon or file? Would modifying NTFS permissions be more effective?
• Will you be controlling computer-specific settings only, and not user set-
tings?
If after considering these issues, you conclude that System Policies will sim-
plify administration of your system, use the System Policy Editor to create the
appropriate individual and/or group policies, as explained in the next section.
