Re: Implications of Uninstalling Server Service?

Well, unbinding F&P will meet your objective of preventing
them from sharing those; but of course, if they could share
them then they would be empowered to bind F&P back on
to the interface (or to start the Server service)
With the Server service not present or not started they would
not be able to browse. I have seen corps that do intentionally
want browse of neighborhood to not work.
Anyway, RPC is not impacted and I have not seen Server
service not installed, just disabled but installed.

You speak of uninstalling F&P service, and also of uninstalling
Server service, but I am again wondering whether you mean
uninstall, or just unchecking (i.e. not binding) in the interface
properties. Obviously if Server service is gone then all of the
dependents are crippled (which, IIRC includes browser, which
seems odd at first until one thinks into how browser operates).

The Subject line here was my error. I mean uninstalling not unchecking
the
"File and Print Sharing" item in the list of items for each interface.

I had (maybe wrongly) assumed that uninstalling this item would in fact
uninstall the Server service, but I'm not sure and I am just checking.

On some machines we don't want users sharing any part of the file system
or
any printer attached to the computer.
