RE: Security templates and settings in Windows XP

Are you worried about users changing the QoS DSCP/IP PREC fields to expedite
their traffic? If so, you could just strip their DSCP field to = 0 on the
switch; if it is managed.

Subject: Security templates and settings in Windows XP

In setting up Windows XP and securing XP, NIST and
SANS recomend disabling QOS from XP. I am trying to
find a registry key that for QOS so that this setting
can be checked remotely. Does anyonw know of such a
key?

This is one of the steps towards securing Windows XP.

Thanks,

William
