How to Disable Internet Search on Terminal Server in windows 2003

Posted on Monday, August 20, 2012 by

A Windows Terminal Server is a Windows 2003 server system that uses the Terminal Services application to allow remote users to connect to the machine. Internet Search is a feature of Windows Server that allows the system to automatically search for solutions to problems over the Internet. This can include driver updates, error messages and unknown file extensions. Blocking this behavior will increase your system's security by preventing users from locating untrusted or untested solutions as suggested steps to their problems. Internet Search is disabled with a group policy object.

Step 1

Log in to the Terminal Server as an administrative user.

Step 2

Open the Start menu, click "Run" and then type "gpedit.msc" (without quotes) and then press "Enter."

Step 3

Expand "Local Computer Policy" on the left by clicking the "+" symbol.

Step 4

Expand "Computer Configuration" on the left of the screen, then click "User Configuration" which opens below it.

Step 5

Double-click "Integrated Internet Search," then click "Disable." Click "OK" to save your changes.

Step 6

Click "OK" twice to save your settings.
