Configuring CISCO router for internet access in GNS3

Consider the following topology in GNS3 (click for full size)

The cloud network is connected to a physical interface on the host machine. This exposes the GNS3 network to the 192.168.10.0 network which is connected to the Internet via 192.168.10.1 gateway. It’s my home physical network basically.

The configuration on R1 is as follows. This will allow VirtualBox machines to connect to the Internet via R1 ‘inside’ interface at 192.168.20.254. The DNS server is located at 192.168.10.2.

Delete Outlook Profile using Group Policy

Create a following DeleteOutlookProfile.reg file:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles]

Then create a GPO with a logon script and link it to the users OU where you want to delete Outlook Profile. To do this go to Group Policy editor and then to User Configuration->Windows Settings->Script (Logon/Logoff)->Right click ‘Logon’ and then ‘Properties’:


Under the Logon add the settings so that regedit.exe calls our DeleteOutlookProfile.reg file silently (with the /s switch):



Now click ‘Show Files’ and copy the .reg file created earlier into that location.
