Hi Experts,

Are there any security reasons for disabling the command prompt for users in a domain?

Thanks i found that first hit on Google myself. I was looking for peoples opinions on this topic. And also for more specific reasons. Why should i, or should i not disable the command prompt for domain users?
Hi SvenIA

Try this it will give you the pros and cons

If the user is a Standard User, they cannot run an Admin Command prompt, so they are restricted in what they can do anyway.

Do you perceive a problem?  I do not have any issues at my clients.
