Scheduled tasks in windows

[Guest]

hi

is there a way to stop displaying the scheduled tasks list in a PC,when we
browse the PC by giving

\\pcname or \\ip address of the PC

if so how do we do that. i want to hide this display for one of our servers

Remove the key: {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\
This is a per-client setting.

To remove the printers folder, delete key: {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}

hi austin

thanks. but i cannot do it in all the clients as the clients are in
different sites also. so is there any per server setting . the server
o/s is windows 2000 advanced server.

If that NameSpace is on the client machine, they're going to be able to browse the Scheduled Tasks of remote machines.

The {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} key could be removed during logon with a batch file or vbscript.

If you need to keep users from deleting/changing the Scheduled Tasks,
you could use the Group Policy Object in Active Directory to restrict some of their access:
