Control Access to Settings and Controls with Microsoft Group Policy

As an administrator, you can limit users' ability to modify their Reflection X settings by setting permissions with the Microsoft Group Policy Management Console, using group policy templates.

ADMX files

ADMX files are divided into language-neutral files (.admx) and language-specific resource files (.adml), available to all Group Policy administrators. These files allow Group Policy tools to adjust their UI according to the administrator's configured language.

The Setup program installs ADMX files to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Micro Focus\Reflection\Configuration\GroupPolicy\ADMX

It installs ADML files to the following directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Micro Focus\Reflection\Configuration\GroupPolicy\ADMX\en-us

You can use Group Policy to control access to the following settings:

• Disable Import Dialog On First Run
• Disallow Remote IP Connections
• Exit program on last client
• Force use of FIPS approved Cryptographic Module

Before you deploy group policy definitions, set and test them on a local test machine.

2. Copy theReflectionX.adml file to %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions\<locale>.

3. Open the Group Policy Object Editor ( gpedit.msc).

4. Under either Computer Configuration or User Configuration, open Administrative Templates and then open Reflection X.

   Group Policies can be set at the machine (Computer Configuration) or user (User Configuration) levels.

5. Select User Settings to display the list of settings you can configure.

6. Double-click on the Group Policy setting you want to restrict access to and then select Enabled.
