default Workgroup

[Tony Wong]

My company has a win2000 environment, with only 1 domain.
A user brings in his home laptop and connects it to the
company network without IT's pre-approval. His laptop
runs win2000, configured to be part of Workgroup. He
does not need to log on to the network, but still can map
to known shared folders on the network. We would like to
block this method, to safeguard our network against
viruses, etc from non-company PCs. Is there a way to
disable the 'Workgroup' under 2000 or force all
connections to be part of the domain?

If you have NTFS on the file server, its a simple matter of removing
"everyone" from the access list on the security tab. If you have it on
FAT32, do the same for the shared folder permissions of the resource

Find out what port he is using on the switch and turn it off
