Thanks Mr.John for kind instructions.I'll try& hope more answers if
anyone knows abt this matter.
As Pegasus has mentioned your best option would be to have a server
where all of these things can be centrally administered. If adding a
server is not an option then the only thing that I can add or suggest is
that you enable the Remote Registry service on all the machines and that
you make sure that administrative shares are enabled on the operating
system drive on all the machines. Then from one of the desktops in the
workgroup you will be able to access these machines and do some changes,
but anytime you want to make a change you will still need to do the
changes to every individual machine or you will have to devise scripts
or batch files that make use of ComputerNames or IP addresses to make
changes to all the machines.
If you want to use Group Policies you can configure one machine with the
policies that you want and then you can export/import the policy to the
other machines, there again if you later decide to change your GPOs you
will still have to apply the changes to each machine individually. You
can also setup logon or machine scripts on each machine then from your
desktop you can create or modify the scripts and then via the
administrative shares you can change or replace the scripts on each
machine. Or you can place scripts or batch files in the common startup
locations, like the Startup folder for example.
Bottom line is that there is no easy way to do what you want on a peer
network, you have to be creative and resourceful to try to centrally
manage a peer network. You will have to learn how to use scripts and
batch file and you will have to craft these so that they suit your
needs. I would suggest that you look into and familiarize yourself with
the Sysinternals PsTools suite of tools, in many situations these will
be quite useful. And I repeat again, while logged on at any machine any
user with administrative privileges will be able to undo any of your
changes on any or all of the machines in the workgroup!
