Re: Copying the Guests group



What are you attempting to accomplish?
You do realize that a member of the Guests group, or the Guest
account itself, is effectively a member of the Users group when
used for a machine local login (if things are left at install defaults,
and if not then last I checked the login fails).
Why can you not accomplish your objective by having all in
Guests, and then segmenting those such that each is also in one
of a number of custom groups used to identify which category
of Guests members?
As with all groups, finding where they are used is a matter of
exhaustive examination of all possible resources.

I'd like to create a group in 2000/XP that basically mirrors the
Guests group. Ideally I'd like to copy the Guests group directly, but
assuming that's not doable...

How do you determine the permissions that are assigned to the Guests
group?

Assuming you had that set of permissions, is there a way to
programmatically assign them to a new group?

Thanks
