Callum Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Does anybody know how to password protect the Startup Repair utility in Windows 7? I've tried Googling it but the links all talk about circumventing the password.
synaesthesia Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Disable it outright; https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28076667/Disable-Windows-Startup-Repair-Via-GPO.html
Duke5A Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Another vote for disabling it. I don't think I've ever seen it actually fix anything.
asm Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 Even IF you need it, I feel like having it disabled is the lesser of two evils, there are always alternatives to repair.
synaesthesia Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 You generally would never run repair on a domain connected machine anyway, the problems that can cause overrides any inconvenience by having to rebuild, especially these days!
Callum Posted December 3, 2017 Author Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks for the response everybody! Yeah, as you all suggested, we went with outright disabling it on all domain machines.
