Locking down win2K

[jvande]

I am setting up a network for a highschool and I want to lockdown the registry and certain admin functionality in windows 2000. Is there any easy, good 3rd party software out there to create profiles to be able to do this?

Just make the students members of the regular "users" group. This group cannot modify the registry of compromise the operating system. You could then use group policy to further restrict the students if need be.

you can apply policies to those users, to restric the access to those things you dont want the to access A+, MCP, CCNA

All the stuff you need is already there no need to spend money on 3rd party software, Just make up a policy on the server and assign the stundents to it. You will be able to lockdown lots of stuff that you do not wish them to have access to.

Also go into 'services' and either set to manual or disable altogether stuff you don't need like telnet and IIS (for the FTP service).
Kids can be real crafty......
About the policies: create a test group first of all and run the policies on that as a dry run....
