I have a major pain in the back side with users changing machine descrptions
to naughty words. Users have machine admin rights (programmers). Is there
anyway to use domain policy to lock the field ?

Thanks
Scott

Personally I would not use domain policy but company policy!
If naughty word's or offensive material is found on their computers then the
threat of a visit to the local job centre usually does the trick!.

If your "users" have admin rights it means that you *want* to allow them to
do this. The only effective defense is with written company policy. Make one
and make them sign it! It works!

Make sure you policy includes the potential punishment for abuse of company
systems. After writing it, take it to your supervisor, explain to him/her
the reasoning, and obtain his/her backing before rolling it out. If your
supervisor will not support it, don't worry about it, it's not your problem
any longer.
