Hi,
We have a win2k domain with winXP workstations. The security settings on
the winXP C: are as follows.
Administrator - Full Control: This folder, subfolders and files
CREATOR OWNER - Full Control: Subfolders and files only
Everyone - Read & Execute: This folder only
SYSTEM - Full Control: This folder, subfolders and files
Users - Read & Execute: This folder, subfolders and files
Users - Create Folders / Append Data: This folder and subfolders
Users - Create Files / Write Data: Subfolders only
I find that this allows the user to use pretty much all of the C drive to
write data to, including installing programs(not in Program Files). Is this
a security risk? If yes, what recommendations can I follow to tighten up
the security?
Thanks!!!
