Need help with logon to W2k server

[Merlin]

I have a small non-profit office that until recently was all P-T-P. Have purchased a new server running W2K-Server and am hosting the main application from that server. There are about 10 users with a mixed bag of W2k and (mostly) W98 on their desktops. Currently they have user id's & passwords that add the network drives etc. but my problem is folks accessing the desktop by sneaking into offices & hitting ESC to bypass the logon process. I need to restrict this. What's my best approach.

One of the biggest problems is physical security. First you need to keep people from sneaking into offices. Then, I would suggest upgrading all to w2k pro, so they can't bypass the logon. With W2K pro, you can force people to have to logon, otherwise, they don't even see the desktop. Good luck.

Merlin,

I agree. You have to get rid of the 98 machines, because logons are not required. Upgrade to win2k or xp pro.

Also, if you don't have physical security, you have no security.
