Block access to "Add Network Location"

[ZeroHour]

Hi

If you users are in My computer and right click computer they can try to add a network location.

Any one know how to disable this?

Have a look here:

Using Group Policy to Control the Add Network Location Wizard

 

To block access to the Add Network Location Wizard from the Map Network Drive command, you can configure the Remove "Map Network Drive" and "Disconnect Network Drive" Group Policy setting. This setting is located in User Configuration under Policies (if present), in Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer. If you enable this policy setting, the system removes access to the Map Network Drive and Disconnect Network Drive commands that were available, for example, by opening Windows Explorer and right-clicking Network. However, this policy setting does not prevent you from starting the Add Network Location Wizard by opening Explorer, right-clicking Computer, and clicking Add a Network Location. The policy setting also does not prevent you from connecting to another computer by typing the name of a shared folder in Explorer or Internet Explorer.

 

Not sure if it is what you want but it seems to fit the bill?

Can they succeed in doing so?

No point it's on the computer page anyway. Disable web folders and it's not actually going to do anything.

You can prevent webdav by disabling the webclient service, worth doing as there are a few new security vulnerabilities with it anyway.
