Re: How to distribute security patch Roger Wright10-Jul-05 9:11 Roger Wright 10-Jul-05 9:11  Whoa!!! You're running 39 PCs in a workgroup configuration? That's nuts! Anything more than 10 systems is a good candidate for a client/server architecture. In fact, that's the only simple solution to the problem at hand. Using a logon script on a domain controller you can check for updates and automatically install them each time a client signs on the network. As far as I know, there is no way to automate this process from any arbitrary peer in a workgroup. This is one of the major arguments against large workgroups - the need to repeat routine tasks on every individual machine whenever a change is required. Good luck! But buy a server soon - or even configure one existing machine as a server. Although it's not recommended, it is perfectly okay to use a server as a client machine; I am right now.

I plan to request my organization to purchase the server too. But I need to prepare some documents in order to present them about the benefit of client/server system. I think running a large workgroup is very difficult too, but this system is running normally before and I'm the person that just get this task after the previous staff leave. I plan to reform the system but it need to take step by step. I read from Microsoft website about Software Update Services (SUS), it might be able to help me but I don't know this tool could be able to work in workgroup or not. If it is possible, it would be greate for me. A thousand mile of journey, begin with the first step.

I am enumerating the processes on the machine, and trying to open a process token for each to find out the logon id. It works fine for System processes, but not for processes launched by another interactive user - I just get access denied returned from OpenProcessToken. I have enabled both the SE_SECURITY_NAME and SE_DEBUG_NAME privileges but still no luck. I am running this code as an interactive administrator user (it works fine when running under the local system account).

Since XP is not a server OS you may not have that kind of control; if it's the Home edition you definitely don't. But if it's there, it's in the Administrative Tools section, possibly in the areas for managing RAS or Users and Groups. Do some exploring... make a Restore Point, then go hunting and make any likely looking changes. If all goes wrong, Restore. (I hate XP, but I love that Restore feature!

Re: Set Shared Folder Roger Wright4-Jul-05 20:47 Roger Wright 4-Jul-05 20:47  It depends upon which operating system you're using, but generally you right-click on the icon for the resource you want to share, select Properties, then wing it from there. Somewhere there will be a tab labelled "Security" or "Sharing" or some such. Selecting that tab will take you to a panel that let's you select which Users or Groups the item should be accessible to. Play a bit, and learn; you really can't break anything in this area, though you may leave some resources open to outside attack. Just don't set Administrator permissions to "Deny" and you should be okay...

I want to cry out loud because there are 80Gb of my documents in that crazy computer hard disk. I suppose to buy a 500Gb backup hard drive this sunday and transfer the data from the computer. anyway, i think it know my plan in advance and it just drop dead a day in advance. This SONY computer is real smart. it out smart me in all ways!!!! anyway, i hate computers in general particularly the sony one. you know there are lot of things that we should HATE computer. one of the thing that my mind could think of is "it act like our enemy". why? because when we are in a hurry and want to work fast, "this enemy" just crowl and start to count-the-grass walking. when we are not in a hurry, it work fast. you can try if you don't believe me (when in a hurry you open many programs or many file and want to print this and that, the computer just go down, find the garden and count the grass even though your house is sky high and no green thing around....). well, well, the more i talk about computer the more i hate it!!!!! Any idea to rescue the file, please let me know... A thousand mile of journey, begin with the first step.

APO-CEDC Save Children Norway-Cambodia Office Re: How rescue the files Roger Wright3-Jul-05 10:52 Roger Wright 3-Jul-05 10:52  My first step would be to remove the drive and install it as a slave in a second computer. It may just be a controller failure in the Sony, and your files may be recoverable by simply copying them from the old drive to another one. Sometimes drives become unbootable because of disk damage, but can still be read in this configuration. If it works, you'll save the many thou$sand$ a disk recovery company will charge you. If it doesn't work, you're no worse off than now. Good luck!
