Ability to Enable/Disable a LAN connection

Requirements: At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1

Location: User Configuration\Network\Network Connections\


Description:
Determines whether users can enable/disable LAN connections.

If you enable this setting, the Enable and Disable options for LAN connections are available to users (including nonadministrators). Users can enable/disable a LAN connection by double-clicking the icon representing the connection, by right-clicking it, or by using the File menu.

If you disable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), double-clicking the icon has no effect, and the Enable and Disable menu items are disabled for all users (including administrators).

Important

If you do not configure this setting, only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can enable/disable LAN connections.
