| If you want more power than what's available inside
the box, you can create your own ADM templates. Here, we have several
examples of additional ADM templates that you can leverage.
Do you have an ADM template that you created, that
you think we should feature here? Then email Jeremy to let him know!
Let's share the love!
However, beofore you attempt to use these ADM templates,
it's probably a good idea to read Chapter 5 of the new book (Group
Policy, Profiles and intelliMirror for Windows 2003, Windows XP
and Windows 2000) or Chapter 2 of the previous book (Windows 2000:
Group Policy, Profiles and IntelliMirror) to get the full gist of
how these are used.
Remember, there's a difference between proper blue-dot
""policy settings" and red-dot "preferences."

squelch the message.

When you use a Windows 2000 or Windows XP machine,
you might notice that the Administrative tools are hidden on the
Start Menu by default. You can use this ADM template to enable the
Administrative Tools to appear off the Start menu.

Template: IEAllowKerberos.adm -- Author Benny Hauk
When you upgrade IE to 6.0 on a Windows 2000 client,
There's a new checkbox in Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Security
called Enable Windows Integrated Authentication that's unchecked
by default. So those browsers can't use Kerberos to authenticate
to a web server, which in turn means you can't use delegation to
have that user's credentials passed all the way to the backend database
(SQL Server). We are moving towards having all database authentication
done using Windows Authentication which means making web servers
do Windows delegation is key. By using this ADM Template I made,
we enabled hundreds of web browsers at our company to use Kerberos,
thus solving another technical hurdle along the path to true pass-through
integrated windows authentication. For updates contact bgh0055

Template: CompXCust.adm -- Author Nate Risser
