  Mandatory Profile
 When creating a mandatory profile, make sure 
you set the appropriate access permissions for the user or groups of users that 
will use this profile.  A mandatory 
user profile is a preconfigured user profile. The user can still modify the 
desktop, but the changes are not saved when the user logs off. The next time the 
user logs on, the mandatory user profile is downloaded again. User profiles 
become mandatory when you rename the NTuser.dat file on the server to 
NTuser.man. This extension makes the user profile read-only. You can also create a mandatory user profile by using Windows Explorer to 
rename the ntuser.dat file to ntuser.man. 
The administrator can assign the same mandatory 
user profile to as many users as needed. 
 
For share, create a Profiles folder if it does not 
already exist, and share the folder with authenticated users allowing read only 
permissions The share must be created before the user profile is 
enabled.
 
To create a mandatory user profile

  Open Active Directory Users and Computers 
  In the details pane, right-click the applicable user account. 
  

  
  
Active Directory Users and Computers 
applicable domain 
applicable container (such as Users) 
applicable user account 
  Click Properties. 
  In the Properties dialog box, click the Profile tab. 
  In Profile path, type the path information ending with the .man 
  file name extension. 
 Note

  To open Active Directory Users and Computers, click Start, point to 
  Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click 
  Active Directory Users and Computers. 
Use a full path in each user 
account

 : 
\\server\share\%username%.man
For share, create a Profiles folder if it does not 
already exist, and share

 the folder with authenticated users allowing read only permissions

 The share must be created before the user profile is enabled.

[tech-cord] Windows XP security?

2002-09-27 Thread Mike
Title: Windows XP security?



I have a situation where I need to maintain 12 XP workstations at ICCC in Eagle Grove.  We have a business teacher who is using a room over there.  

We have supplied the computers and networked laser printer, we supplied the wiring to the workstations and hubs linking them all, ICCC supplied access to the internet through a Cat5 line already installed in the room.

We have Visual CASEL at our high school and filtering through our firewall, but obviously no connection linking the two buildings.


The problem
How can I maintain some sort of order on these machines?  Is there some sort of built in security to XP?  This is the first time the district has purchased machines with XP on them so I am not an expert at it yet like you guys.
