remove or turn off the option to "disable network connection" in windows

Question

working in the Network Connections window its all too easy to right click and disable the network connection.

When this is done through a remote session its particularly annoying as physical location can mean its a problem to get it enabled again.

Is there a setting that can remove the "disable" option from the right click options on the network adaptor or a group policy that can prevent users from disabling the NIC in windows?

Answer 1

You can achieve this by implementing a Group Policy Object.
