Dumb question time! How to "hide" machine on network

[Guest micheal]

I was wondering if it was possible to keep a server or NAS device on the

network and in the domain, and have it NOT visible to end users when they

browse My Network Places.

Hello,

 

hidding a nas may be hard, as netbios is required to map network share...

 

Instead, you prevent users from browsing the network place at all.

 

You sould not consider this as a security mesure. Any few experienced

hackers will find it much easily...

 

Why do you want to hide it ? protect from listing available share ?

A quick and easy way to do this on a windows server is to add a "$" to the

share name... like "sharedfolder$"

 

There are also reghacks to hide systems from the network when browsing.

What about using Access Based Enumeration? Experts?

 

This is a tool to prevent the visibility to folders that one doesn't have

access to.

 

My guess is it only hides the shared folders and not the machine itself?
