This step prevents users from changing policies by modifying settings in their registry. After you set the policy, you then specify the value for the enforced setting. In the previous version of the System Policy Editor, you could stop enforcing a system policy, but you could not return client computers to their original configuration. With Microsoft Project 2000, however, you can set a policy and later clear the policy and return client computers to their previous state, whether that state is the application default or a user s customized setting. The new version for the System Policy Editor and the Microsoft Project 2000 system policy template now accepts environment variables.
Environment variables take the place of actual file names, paths, and other changeable values.
By using environment variables, you can use a variable instead of a specific path that might not be valid for every client computer. When the policy is enforced, the variable is automatically expanded to the correct value for each client computer. All rights reserved. Terms of use .
