The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

potentially bad security

Asked by dr_binks in Windows Network Security, MS Forefront-ISA

I think the answer is obvious here, but I just want a few opinions.

the company I work for is still in its youth, it has only been trading for about 1.5 years. Before the company was set up properly, it was being run by a single lady and her computer. A few months after the company was established properly with its own proprty and emplyees I was asked to set up an  internal Active Directory network (which I have done)

howeverthe lady that ran the company originally has to have her own computer (that she has been usign for years) on the network.. but because she has been using it for a while she has programs such as paradox which has modules installed that apparently are discontinued now. So that means although she is on the network I cannot join (or register) her computer  with the PDC (becase from what I know it will essentially create an account that she will use but it wont have her stuff on it).

now im assuming that this is a very bad (in a security) sense setup.. because she is on the network and her machine is not locked down like all the others.

how bad could this set up be? could somthing happen to her machine that could compromise the rest of the network?

all the clients (win xp pro) are protected with Norton Corprate 9 (whic we are using because the licences are very cheap) and the servers are protected with F-Secure 5.. the whole network is protected with smoothwall.

Sorry to waffle on, just thought id give as much info as possible

what are your opinions?
