Access Denied in Win XP p2p
Hello, I recently ran System Mechanic 6 on two of the computers in my
three-computer Win XP Pro p2p net; subsequently I discovered that I had no
access to those two computers from the third unit or from each other. I
discovered a post in a PC World forum noting a similar situation; the author
suggested changing to "disabled" the following entries in Security Settings
>Local Policies >Security Options:
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts Disabled
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and
shares Disabled
I did this on one computer and my access was restored. Trying to do it on
the other computer, I discovered that these entries were not present in
Security Options -- in fact, as opposed to a lengthy list of options I found
on the "fixed" computer, this computer's Security Options were limited to six
choices -- none of which was the desired choice. Can anyone give me some
guidance as to rebuilding/restoring the default list of Security Options so
that I can set them correctly ? (I do not have an appropriate System Restore
point available). The help file mentioned loading and editing templates, but
it didn't say which of the templates was appropriate.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
