Re: Limited Access

First off I will make the assumption that by remote connect you mean access
to a network share through My Network Places and not Remote Desktop. If that
is not the case then make sure you let me know exactly what you are
attempting to do.

You want to use the computer's name that you are logged onto with the share
to add a user account to the permissions list. The computer name will be the
only location unless the computer is a member of an Active Directory domain
which is not your case. You simply want to add the user name that has the
same name as used by users logging onto your other computers. For instance
if user Bob wants to access your share you will need to create a user Bob on
your computer with the share and give it the same password as user Bob users
to logon to his computer and a password must be use as by default XP Pro
will not allow user account with blank passwords to access the computer over
the network. You can go to Control Panel - users or enter lusrmgr.msc in the
run box to manage user accounts.

The local policy of this system does not permit to login interactively means
that the user does not have the user right for logon locally on the
computer. You can mange user rights in Local Security Policy under local
policies/user rights. Enter secpol.msc in the run box to easily open Local
Security Policy. The user must either explicitly or by group membership have
the user right for logon locally and NOT either explicitly or by group
membership have the user right for deny logon locally. Generally I have
authenticated users and administrators listed for the user right for logon
locally and only have the support_... account listed in deny logon
ocally. --- Steve

Steve,

Thanks for your help and I followed the link you gave me and was able to
restrict the shared drives and folders. However, I have another question,
if
I may:

First off is when I remote connect to my desktop from my laptop within my
LAN, I cannot access the shared dirve and folders, for my remote id coming
from my laptop is not recognized. When I try add it to the list I cannot
change the location name to my laptop and the only name on the list is my
desktop. I cannot add any id's from my two laptops to my desktop because I
cannot change the location.

Secondly, when I use the limited user id I created on my desktop for
remote
users to connect to my desktop, it does not work and a message saying "The
local policy of this system does not permit to login interactively". I
tried
to navigate through the Administrative Tools from the Control Panel but I
cannot find the place to edit or to alter the permission to allow the
limited
user id - enable to remotely login. Would you be kind enough to help me
again
and direct me where to go.

Again, thanks for your help.

Mike

First you need to disable simple file sharing on your XP Pro computer
with
the share by going to Windows Explorer/tools/folder options - view and
uncheck the last option for use simple file sharing. That will make sure
that users need to authenticate to your computer. Then create a user
account
[Control Panel/user accounts] on that computer that is NOT a local
administrator or power user and make sure that only the shares that you
want
that user account to access includes that user account and that other
shares
do not include users or everyone. Then you can also access the security
tab
in the properties of any folder such as the one you share and grant the
user
the needed access to that folder. For instance you might want to give the
user read/list/execute permissions if you want them to see and copy files
from that folder only. If you want tem to be able to write to it also
grant
them write permissions. Modify permission allows the user to also delete
files in the folder so be careful with that. The link below explains more
on
setting folder permissions. --- Steve

I have a Home Network with 2 - laptops and 1 - desktop all running Win
XP-Pro
SP2. My ISP is DSL with static IP. I have file and printer sharing
enabled
and be able to connect among my laptops and desktop within my LAN. I
have
my
static IP port forwarded to my desktop for remote connection.

I am using my desktop as a fax server and a partition as shared drive
for
my
children for them to download pictures and whatnot. My question and
please
help me is how do I create a user id and password with limited access
only
to
my desktop without the capabilty of accessing the other drives in my
network.
My current id, for remote connect on my desktop, has the capability of
accessing the other workstations within my network. My ultimate wish is
only
for anybody - just to have access into my shared drive in my desktop.

Your help on this will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
