Group Policy Editing via a PE Disc ?

Posted 28 April 2012 - 09:13 PM
Essentially, I'd like to hack this PC to permit me to install a couple apps (eg. Open/Libre Office), so that I can work at work and not at home. (The PC essentially has only Internet Explorer installed.)
I already have a working LiveXP disc. It's my hope there is a way (maybe via RunScanner) to hack this PC, if someone out there has a Group Policy Object Editor plugin. Anyway, thanks in advance tor your consideration....

you may be better off using the portable version of libreoffice and run from a USB drive

although if you are on a domain polices are checked and (re)applied on start up/login, so editing the registry offline may be a waste of your time, depending on how your sysadmin has configured the GPO's

I had a suspicion of something like reloading policies at startup. As for running a portable app, they've turned off running ANY apps other than the ones they've installed on the system, which is almost nothing. I also have doubts about whether I could come up with the plugin for policy editor in a reasonable amount of time, as I've found virtually nothing on this subject on reboot.
Haven't given up yet, but thanks to both of you for your participation....

I'd try the reasoned persuasion route though, much less likely to lose you your job...

Keep in mind if your computer is on a domain this method would work, but could limit your ability to save or even use the software depending on the group policy restrictions in place.

While a functional solution, long term it's a bit of an issue.
1. he would be operating outside his production environment, that may not matter to him, but something to consider.
2. and more importantly in my opinion is the legalities, especially for his company, and time frame. Win8 is in CP currently but when the project goes live he will need to purchase a copy of Win8 just for his USB, and then he may need to rebuild it to apply the key. I'm assuming he won't want spend $100 on a copy of Windows by the end of the year just to do his job.
Perhaps I'm misinterpreting both of the situations however.
