Hide a server

[phil2627]

We have a member server with sensitive data we are trying to prevent
from being browsed from a certain group of users. Is there a way to
prevent this server from appearing in Network Places ? Thanks.

I don't think it can be "hidden" per groups of users, it's the whole
machine or nothing. Make sure that the NTFS permissions are properly
set to deny unauthrized access! Hiding the machine or removing it from
the browse list does not make it secure!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

Value Name: hidden
Data Type: REG_BINARY
Value: 1


Or with the net config command:

net config server /hidden:yes|no
