    GPO to allow standard used to enable or disable metered connetions


    Is there a GPO that can allow a standard user to enable or disable metered Wi-Fi connections (Windows 10 Pro)?


    We have a bunch of people that tend to Hotspot from their mobile phone, while on the road. To maximise the bandwidth (and not eat up the allocated usage), I'd like them to be able to toggle the 'Set as Metered connection' switch.

    However, as a standard user, it's greyed out.

    I've had a look at the different network policies, but can't find one that refers to this.


    Thanks


    Luke

    Windows Security Screen shutdown/restart with GPO

    Running Win 10 Pro as admin and using GPO for standard users to limit shutdown/restart/hibernate option. GPO restriction works everywhere it should but on Windows Security screen where Power Button is still functional. Could this be a bug? Am an experienced
    GPO user. Have already done SFC and dism as well as Disabled/Not Configured and re Enabled GPO option. Any suggestions? Appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Server 2003 GPO questions

    I solved my problem!
    My first issue was the installation files that weren't running. I fixed this by enabling windows installer through the "allow select windows applications to run" option in the GPO. My second issue was turning off the GPO on the fly. Unfortunately, there is no option within the GPO editor that allows for this. However, I did create a .bat file which I can run that will insert specific registry key values that will render the GPO ineffective. I also created a "re-enable GPO" .bat file that I run after I am through making the changes, this will bring the GPO back up.
    Thanks so much for your help Batou1986! *Toast :toast:

    GPO to allow standard used to enable or disable metered connetions

    Disable Metered Connection on LTE

    I am trying to install an Application using SCCM and I keep getting an error in my ContentTransferManager.log 'cannot be fulfilled since use of metered network is not allowed.'

    When I check the Metered Connection option under Cellular -> Advanced Options it is set to Off and grayed out for 'Set as Metered connection'

    I would like to set 'Set this as a metered Connection' to Off through a GPO.

    Windows 10 Build 1803

    Thank you,
