From: Booli on 17 Jul 2010 08:58 In my office we have 6 computers which are connected by a Hub. I have created a user group call "CECILIYAN". I have connected internet one port of that hub. So any one can access to Internet in that group. Now I want to make my PC as the Administrator of this user group. And I should be able to control other PCs by blocking USB Pen drives & Internet Access & other things. Please let me know how to do it. Is there any third party tool or registry editing or any way to control that things Thank you.

On a peer network there is no central administration, you have to make these kind of changes to each individual machine. You can use remote tools or push changes from one machine but you have to devise your own techniques to effect these kind of changes to all the machines in a reasonably efficient manner. You also need to make sure that no one on any of the remote machines are members of the administrator group as they will be able to undo anything that you do. John

You currently operate in a peer-to-peer network, hence by definition there is no central administration. With 6 PCs you should consider installing Windows Small Business Server on your own machine. This would give a central point of control and it would allow you to formulate policies that govern the operation of the other machines.
