Hi all

I am having some trouble enable a users to install fonts to windows 7
computer

in the GPO I have give user full control permission to the folloing folders
and reg key

%systemroot%\fonts
%systemroot%\system32\FNTCACHE.dat

and registry key:
KLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Fonts

UAC on the windows 7 machine are disabled

there is no way I can apply the permission to the fonts folder

I went and looked at winlogon file under c:\windows\security\logs and this
error comes up

"Configure c:\windows\fonts.
Warning 5: Access is denied.
Error setting security on c:\windows\fonts
Configure c:\windows\system32\fntcache.dat.

File Security configuration was completed successfully."

Anyone know what is the best way to solve this issue via GPO

Thanks

Rockn

I think the only way you can do this is to create an MSI to deploy the fonts
with GPO. I am sure there are other ways to do it with scripts, but not
directly in Group Policy.
