Windows Workgroup Configuration
-
Hi, I would like to know something about the workgroup configuration. When a group of computer are configured for a work group configuration then is it possible somehow to manage those computers remotely from some other computer using the Local Administrators user name and password? How are the computers configured for the work group configurations be seen from a network supporting domain configuration. Can somebody help me in this regard? Any reference material provided or any link will be of great help. Thanks Abhishek. Learning is a never ending process of Life.

Products like PCAnywhere allow you to administer individual hosts remotely. If you're using XP the Remote Management functions may allow you to isolate individual hosts in the workgroup if each host's local administrtor logon is known, but I haven't yet tried it out.

when you set a group of computers in a workgroup, you can access the shared resources of each computer from any other computer on the same workgroup. you can give access to the files and resources unrestricted over the workgroup or can give it with password. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/reskit/prcf\_omn\_wrta.asp http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/troubleshooting/w2k/ls/082301.asp this link is for windows2000, but the procedure for XP would be similar. try to find more on microsoft website.
