Guest jerrydy Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Is there a centralized way to turn off simple file sharing in all workstations in a domain? I've tried to look for it in group policy, but couldn't find one that applies. We use W2K3 and all clients use WinXP Pro. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -Jerry

Note that this applies to WinXP Pro. WinXP home can't join a domain.
