Re: What about NT's AUTORUN Vulnerability!

[Ian Kayne <Ian.Kayne () SOFTLAB CO UK>]

Under Win2k, this is a security policy. Find it by going Computer Policy -
User Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Disable Autoplay.
Options are to disable on CD drives or all drives.

For the non-MMC minded, you'll need to add the "Local Computer Policy"
snapin to a new console.

You can ofcoz roll this out through AD OU policy templates.
