trinityacademyhalifax Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Hi guys, For some reason, Group Policy will block EXE's and other extensions all day long using the Software Restrictions File Types policy, but will not block .jar files at all. Having issues with kids accessing Minecraft (that old chestnut) and thought it should just... work. Anyone else having these issues? Cheers!
6Foot2 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Have a look at File Server Resources Manager: The second video includes blocking of file types.
trinityacademyhalifax Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 I don't think that would work with our NetApp SAN, I thought FSRM was only for local storage?
6Foot2 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Ah, I had thought that they were saving the file locally before running it.
trinityacademyhalifax Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Nope, they like to hide it in their user areas, we don't let them save locally. It's like playing whack-a-mole, as soon as you block one method they just find another!

trinityacademyhalifax Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Their home folders are stored on the SAN, not on a Windows file server, so FSRM won't work surely?
6Foot2 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 In that case it sounds like it probably won't work.
