"Create a MSI file for setting .NET Framework Security"

Mike Linkey - 4/6/2004

"Deploying .NET Framework and need to setup the security? This will help you create an MSI file for distribution via SMS or a Group Policy.

Install the .NET framework from Microsoft on the machine you will be using to create the MSI file.

Set the .NET Framework Security to what ever you need for your organization.

Run the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration. (NOTE: This is in Control Panel under Administrative Tools)

In the MMC, select Runtime Security Policy.

On the right side of the screen, select the link that says Create Deployment Package

Choose Machine and enter the location to create the package at the policy level screen, Click Next.

Click Finish.

Go to the directory you entered above and copy the MSI file to your package source location and set the package up to run hidden with no prompts. It will also need to run with admin rights. You can also take this MSI file and deploy it with GPO if you so desire."

Nice, easy sounding tip to apply .Net Security settings as part of your setup...
