Work Group Security

[Guest]

I'm on a network which has two workgroups. Is it possible to have some sort
of security to stop file sharing/access between the work groups whilst
allowing sharing/access within the workgroup?

We all run Win XP SP2.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi,

Not really in a workgroup environment, that's more of a domain aspect. The
problem is that access control (acl's) is being done on a per machine basis
rather than being defined by a central server (active directory), and in a
desktop environment a file is either shared or not shared with remote
users - there are no options to specify which remote users have access and
which do not.
