Re: How to: Disable XP's Simple File Sharing through Group Policy



Are you finding it enabled?? If so then maybe your users are also local
administrators which generally is a bad idea. By default simple file sharing
is disabled when a computer joins the domain. What may help enforce it is to
configure domain/OU level Group Policy to force the security option found in
security settings/local policies/ security options - network access:sharing
and security model for local accounts and set it to classic - users
authenticate as themselves. I would also consider enforcing the user right
for deny access this computer from the network and add guest. --- Steve
