![]() This will prevent registry savvy users from modifying my delivered settings within the registry itself. It’s critical that I configure RealPlayer to utilize the exact UDP ports that I have assigned for this application within my network firewall so I’m going to go to “Network Transport” and I’m going to configure “Use specific UDP ports.”įinally, let’s go to “Internet” and let’s uncheck “Enable RealPlayer Cookies” as well as “Allow websites to add items to Now Playing.” Now, let’s lock these two settings all the down to the registry itself by using PolicyPak’s unique feature, ACL Lockdown. That means that the setting value will be delivered by PolicyPak. Notice how the setting value became underlined when I unchecked it. Let’s start with “Auto Update” and let’s make sure that “Automatically download and install important updates” is always unchecked. I’ll click “Edit…” I’ll dive down under “User Configuration,” PolicyPak/Applications/New/Application.” There it is, “PolicyPak for RealPlayer” along with other applications like “Java,” “Flash” “Firefox,” “Skype” and lots of other important desktop applications that your users utilize every day (and you want to make more secure). We’ll go ahead and right click over our “East Sales Users”, “Create a GPO” and we’re going to call it “Lockdown RealPlayer.” So this GPO is now associated with the “East Sales Users.” I’ll right click over it. 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 registry location saved here where I can go straight into the registry and modify the setting for “ExternalTrackAdds” and change the value from 0 to 1. RealPlayer is a registry based application which means a registry savvy user can modify these settings and get around your desired settings. “Internet” has lots of connections such as “Enable RealPlayer Cookies” and “Network Transport” has some critical connection settings that I don’t want my users messing with. Here in “Media” I have some settings such as “Make RealPlayer my Universal Media Player” and which browser RealPlayer will utilize. As you can see, I’m logged on as a guy called “eastsalesuser4.” I’ll open up RealPlayer, go to Preferences, and examine the configuration settings a user has access to. I’ve already got RealPlayer installed on my computer, and I’m just a regular user here. ![]() In this video, we’re going to learn how to configure RealPlayer using PolicyPak.
