         You could disable the service on machines that do not need it for
anyhting, or you could configure the ntfs permissions on the net comand so
that they can not execute it. Of course this assumes they are not
administrators on their own machines. Changing ntfs permission is not 100
percent foolproof as they may be able to place another copy on machine
somewhere. If you are a domain you may try to configure user configuration
group policy so that the net command is a disallowed application. A user
computer policy may be of some use, but only if it is enforced. -- Steve
