In the daily office scenarios of enterprises, the use of software plays an important role, sometimes even reaching 100% of the usage time. Generally, when enterprises configure computers, they have pre-installed the software required for office work, and employees only need to run these specified software to complete their work. However, there are always some employees who privately install software that has nothing to do with work, which may not only affect work efficiency but also bring many problems such as potential safety hazards. So, how should enterprises set up to prohibit program installation?

Enterprises can carry out effective management and control by deploying "OsMonitor computer monitoring software". The operation is also very simple. Just deploy the management end on the administrator's computer, and deploy the managed end on the employees' computers. Then relevant policies can be set on the management end.

One effective method is to work on software management and control. After clicking the system settings, enter "software management and control", check "prohibit custom window opening", and at the same time, add keywords such as "setup", "installation", and "install" customarily. This is like setting up an intelligent checkpoint. As long as the content related to these keywords appears in the window running on the employee's computer, the window will be forcibly closed, thus effectively preventing the installation of programs. This method is simple and direct and can cut off the path of non-work software installation at the source.

Another feasible method is to set a limited task set. Record and enable the limited task set function in the software. Once enabled, only the specified programs recorded by the administrator can run, and other non-specified programs cannot be run or installed. When recording a limited task set, select the client machine from the monitored list on the management end, right-click the mouse and select the option of recording a limited task set. Then run the allowed programs on the client machine and click "end recording". After completing these operations, return to the management end computer, select software management and control in the system settings, check "enable the limited task set function", and select the limited task set policy that needs to be enabled.

During this process, there is a key note. If the employees' computers are grouped on the management end, when setting policies related to prohibiting program installation, it is necessary to ensure that the selected group is correct. Because all settings of OsMonitor computer monitoring software are based on groups, once the wrong group is selected, it may lead to the incorrect implementation of the policy and affect the management and control effect.

Through these methods, enterprises can effectively set up to prohibit program installation, create a focused, efficient, and safe office environment, let employees focus on using software related to work, avoid a series of problems caused by the random installation of non-work software, and ensure the orderly progress of enterprise office work.
