I'm working on removing the network capability for Laptop {x}. All adapters should be permanently disabled. I followed his instructions to remove the user from the administrator group and disable admin privileges. He then instructed me to turn off network connections (w + run, ncpa.cpl) and eventually requested complete deletion. When I attempted this, Windows blocked the deletion process—uncertain how to proceed. He suggested using the registry, specifically:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\Interfaces.
I'm still a bit confused about the steps, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I saw a discussion about removing entries from a registry path related to network adapters. It seems the method might vary depending on your specific situation.
I implemented a group policy to restrict administrative changes like PowerShell, cmd, registry edits, and ncpa.cpl. I also turned on BitLocker to prevent unauthorized registry access, and added a BIOS password. I'm unsure about the specific laptop, but I believe it's crucial for security. While hacking BitLocker is possible, it doesn't succeed often.
It's likely blocked, but it depends on the settings and security features enabled.
Sure, the laptop is also kept in the company safe. Unless they decide to move it, I assume it's secure.
