Question

Group Policies

Setting:
Local Group Policy Editor
User Configuration
Administrative Templates
System
Run only specified Windows applications
Enable, show:
gpedit.msc
C:\windows\system32\gpedit.msc
C:\windows\system32\
C:\windows\system32
C:\windows \system32\*.*
OK, OK,
Reboot can't run any application including gpedit.msc under any user. Already killed the system several times, restoring it from the image.

Answer 1

1) gpedit.msc is not an application. The application that opens this snap-in is mmc.exe.
2) As far as I remember, this policy does not specify paths to applications, but the names of executable files.
3) I doubt very much that wildcard symbols work from this policy (I have never tried it).
Try adding mmc.exe to the list - after that, the gpedit.msc snap-in should open.

Answer 2

When you try to start any application, you receive a message like:
Restrictions
The operation was canceled due to restrictions in force for the computer. Contact your network administrator.

Answer 3

and so 1 what edition of the system
2 in which group is the user
3 PCs in the domain?
