Re: Local Security Policy automatically resets

From: "Bob S" <bsremovemetrachan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

| I having difficulties getting an XP Pro machine on my LAN to share it's printer. I've
| traced the problem down to having an undefined Local Policies | User Rights Assignment |
| Access this computer from the network. When I add any user or group account to the policy
| the system will erase the account within five minutes. I can use the printer remotely for
| the few minutes before the value is removed.
|
| Why is the system removing the value?
|
| This machine used to be part of a domain and I removed it from the domain. It is now just
| part of a workgroup. I also modified some values in the LSP but I don't see what would
| have caused the problem. I also installed MS Antispyware beta, which I have since
| removed.
|
| Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.


What share a printer via a WinXP PC ?

It is far better to use a HP JetDirect Print Server and have the computers print to its IP
address.

This alleviates having loading File and Print Shares on the workstation and using someones
PC as a print server.
