Intranet proxy servers for apps
This setting does not apply to desktop apps. A semicolon-separated list of intranet proxy server IP addresses. These addresses are categorized as private by Windows Network Isolation and are accessible to apps that have the Home/Work Networking capability. If you enable this policy setting it allows an administrator to configure a set of proxies that provide access to intranet resources. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Windows Network Isolation attempts to discover proxies and configures them as Internet nodes. This setting should NOT be used to configure Internet proxies. Example: [3efe:3022::1000]; 18. 0. 0. 1; 18. 0. 0. 2For more information see: http://go. microsoft. com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=234043
Internet proxy servers for apps
This setting does not apply to desktop apps. A semicolon-separated list of Internet proxy server IP addresses. These addresses are categorized as Internet by Windows Network Isolation and are accessible to apps that have the Internet Client or Internet Client/Server capabilities. If you enable this policy setting apps on proxied networks can access the Internet without relying on the Private Network capability. However in most situations Windows Network Isolation will be able to correctly discover proxies. By default any proxies configured with this setting are merged with proxies that are auto-discovered. To make this policy configuration the sole list of allowed proxies enable the “Proxy definitions are authoritative” setting. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting apps will use the Internet proxies auto-discovered by Windows Network Isolation. Example: [3efe:3022::1000];18. 0. 0. 1;18. 0. 0. 2 For more information see: http://go. microsoft. com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=234043
Route all traffic through the internal network
This policy setting determines whether a remote client computer routes Internet traffic through the internal network or whether the client accesses the Internet directly. When a remote client computer connects to an internal network using DirectAccess it can access the Internet in two ways: through the secure tunnel that DirectAccess establishes between the computer and the internal network or directly through the local default gateway. If you enable this policy setting all traffic between a remote client computer running DirectAccess and the Internet is routed through the internal network. If you disable this policy setting traffic between remote client computers running DirectAccess and the Internet is not routed through the internal network. If you do not configure this policy setting traffic between remote client computers running DirectAccess and the Internet is not routed through the internal network.
Do not show the “local access only” network icon
Specifies whether or not the “local access only” network icon will be shown. When enabled the icon for Internet access will be shown in the system tray even when a user is connected to a network with local access only. If you disable this setting or do not configure it the “local access only” icon will be used when a user is connected to a network with local access only.
Require domain users to elevate when setting a network’s location
This policy setting determines whether to require domain users to elevate when setting a network’s location. If you enable this policy setting domain users must elevate when setting a network’s location. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting domain users can set a network’s location without elevating.
Prohibit viewing of status for an active connection
Determines whether users can view the status for an active connection. Connection status is available from the connection status taskbar icon or from the Status dialog box. The Status dialog box displays information about the connection and its activity. It also provides buttons to disconnect and to configure the properties of the connection. If you enable this setting the connection status taskbar icon and Status dialog box are not available to users (including administrators). The Status option is disabled in the context menu for the connection and on the File menu in the Network Connections folder. Users cannot choose to show the connection icon in the taskbar from the Connection Properties dialog box. Important: If the “Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators” is disabled or not configured this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you disable this setting or do not configure it the connection status taskbar icon and Status dialog box are available to all users.
Prohibit use of Internet Connection Sharing on your DNS domain network
Determines whether administrators can enable and configure the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) feature of an Internet connection and if the ICS service can run on the computer. ICS lets administrators configure their system as an Internet gateway for a small network and provides network services such as name resolution and addressing through DHCP to the local private network. If you enable this setting ICS cannot be enabled or configured by administrators and the ICS service cannot run on the computer. The Advanced tab in the Properties dialog box for a LAN or remote access connection is removed. The Internet Connection Sharing page is removed from the New Connection Wizard. The Network Setup Wizard is disabled. If you disable this setting or do not configure it and have two or more connections administrators can enable ICS. The Advanced tab in the properties dialog box for a LAN or remote access connection is available. In addition the user is presented with the option to enable Internet Connection Sharing in the Network Setup Wizard and Make New Connection Wizard. (The Network Setup Wizard is available only in Windows XP Professional. )By default ICS is disabled when you create a remote access connection but administrators can use the Advanced tab to enable it. When running the New Connection Wizard or Network Setup Wizard administrators can choose to enable ICS. Note: Internet Connection Sharing is only available when two or more network connections are present. Note: When the “Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection” “Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection” or “Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection” settings are set to deny access to the Connection Properties dialog box the Advanced tab for the connection is blocked. Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from configuring Internet Connection Sharing regardless of this setting. Note: Disabling this setting does not prevent Wireless Hosted Networking from using the ICS service for DHCP services. To prevent the ICS service from running on the Network Permissions tab in the network’s policy properties select the “Don’t use hosted networks” check box.
Prohibit renaming private remote access connections
Determines whether users can rename their private remote access connections. Private connections are those that are available only to one user. To create a private connection on the Connection Availability page in the New Connection Wizard click the “Only for myself” option. If you enable this setting (and enable the “Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators” setting) the Rename option is disabled for all users (including administrators). Important: If the “Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators” is disabled or not configured this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you disable this setting or do not configure it the Rename option is enabled for all users’ private remote access connections. Users can rename their private connection by clicking an icon representing the connection or by using the File menu. Note: This setting does not prevent users from using other programs such as Internet Explorer to bypass this setting.
Ability to rename LAN connections
Determines whether nonadministrators can rename a LAN connection. If you enable this setting the Rename option is enabled for LAN connections. Nonadministrators can rename LAN connections by clicking an icon representing the connection or by using the File menu. If you disable this setting the Rename option is disabled for nonadministrators only. If you do not configure this setting only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can rename LAN connectionsNote: This setting does not apply to Administrators. Note: When the “Ability to rename LAN connections or remote access connections available to all users” setting is configured (set to either enabled or disabled) this setting does not apply.
Ability to rename LAN connections or remote access connections available to all users
Determines whether users can rename LAN or all user remote access connections. If you enable this setting the Rename option is enabled for all users. Users can rename connections by clicking the icon representing a connection or by using the File menu. If you disable this setting (and enable the “Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators” setting) the Rename option for LAN and all user remote access connections is disabled for all users (including Administrators and Network Configuration Operators). Important: If the “Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators” is disabled or not configured this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If this setting is not configured only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators have the right to rename LAN or all user remote access connections. Note: When configured this setting always takes precedence over the “Ability to rename LAN connections” and “Ability to rename all user remote access connections” settings. Note: This setting does not prevent users from using other programs such as Internet Explorer to rename remote access connections.
