Hi!

In a new GPO on User config configure the following settings to block a user for can not install certificates with internet explorer or use the certificates snapin:

The next step is to block by GPP than a user cannot install cert doing double click on the cert. The path to configure this is Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\File System

There we add the following exe´s:

%SystemRoot%\system32\certutil.exe

%SystemRoot%\system32\CertEnrollCtrl.exe

%SystemRoot%\system32\certmgr.msc

%SystemRoot%\system32\certreq.exe

%SystemRoot%\system32\cryptext.dll

And add a new user group denying permissions.

When user will do double click will appear the following message.
