Unsigned Driver Installation

By default, Windows2000 will allow you to install drivers that have not been signed and approved my Microsoft.

If you want to restrict this so only signed drivers can be installed:

1. Run the Local Security Policy MMC (Start / Run / Programs / Administrative Tools / Local Security Policy)
2. Scroll down to Unsigned driver installation behavior (This is second from the bottom)
3. The default is Not Defined
4. You have three additional options:

   Silently Succeed
   Warn but allow installation
   Do not allow installation
