altric,

I wanted to do the same thing at my company but the only solution will affect their abilit to make other "necessary" changes.  So, if indeed you're trying to prevent your folks from disconnectiing the machine from the domain, etc.  Sorry, it can't be done without messing other stuff up...

Thanks for response.<br />
<br />
However, can I enable the restriction mentioned above without user notice. &nbsp;for e.g. kind of scripting or registry to be run on that particular computer only? &nbsp;Coz i don't want all users in a domain get affected.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I would like to restrict user from accessing or changing the network properties settings.<br />
The computer is running Windows 2000 Pro.<br />
<br />
I aware that this can be done by assigning the user into &quot;User&quot; group. &nbsp;However this will restrict user to share his/her local computer resources to other user.<br />
<br />
So how do I achieve the two objectives above?<br />
Please advise.<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />

Hi,

So how do I achieve the two objectives above?
Please advise.

Restrict access/change network properties

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
