Alright GPOs, put your policies down & step away from th

[crcurran]

I've been having problems manging some workstations that are locked down. For instantance the user is not allowed to add or remove printers but when the printer driver becomes fouled up I have to add and remove within that users profile.

To do it (as far as I know) I have to remove the user object from the OU that is applying the GPO (or block inherritance or disable GPOs which is not a very secure method) then reboot. This is a royale-with-cheese pain in the arse. I have to go to the server or some other management station or perform the AD wizardy from a command prompt.

Welp, I found this nice little utility which turns off the effects of the GPOs. It's called Killpol.exe and can easily be found on the net with a Google search. The little applet has a small GUI asking for administrator name, password and domain with a couple of buttons to remove GPOs and another to apply. schweet!!

This appy is saving me bucko time in the field!
