I’ll go ahead and switch over to my Management Station computer.

Now let’s see how we can ensure compliance and perform desktop management of settings quickly using PolicyPak. As you can see, EastSalesUser4 has the rights to do this. I have the XML system file opened here where your user could go straight into it and modify the setting for “LockAfterTime” and change the value from 300 to 0. KeePass is a system file based application which means a computer savvy user can access this file and alter your desired settings. This is a security oriented application so I will start in “Security” where you have some critical settings such as “Lock workspace after KeePass inactivity” and “Clipboard auto-clear time.” “Interface” has a number of settings relating to how this application integrates with the Windows Interface and finally “Advanced” has some important settings such as “Check for update at KeePass startup.” As you can see, I’m logged on as a guy called “eastsalesuser4.” I’ll open up Keypass, go to Tools- Options, and examine the configuration settings a user has access to. I’ve already got KeePass installed on my computer, and I’m just a regular user here. In this video, we’re going to learn how to configure KeePass using PolicyPak. Hi, this is Jeremy Moskowitz, Microsoft MVP, Enterprise Mobility and Founder of PolicyPak Software. Manage KeePass using Group Policy video transcript Check out this video to see how it’s done: Keep your KeePass configuration settings enforced and streamlined with PolicyPak. PolicyPak sets and enforces expectations for your users’ applications, so that they get the same experience, every time they launch it. PolicyPak enforces and locks down the optimum setting values that you, the administrator, want your users to have. You certainly don’t want your phones tied up with password reset requests. This is why you have an application such as KeePass to do just that.īut like any application, KeePass only works if it’s configured correctly, which means if your users have meddled with its configuration settings, security falters or even worse, users forget their passwords, which means they end up calling the help desk. As a Network Administrator you want to enforce secure password practices for your organization but don’t have time to manage passwords for your users. Many of these applications require a password. Your users access a variety of applications each and every day.
