Belongs on Server Fault. (Based on Group Policy tag => this is an organisational thing, hence not Super User.) – Richard Jun 1 '10 at 13:39

I don't think it's a ServerFault question at all. The keywords are wrong, as the only way to do this is in your connection method, not via group policy. – David W. Fenton Jun 3 '10 at 1:36
