Guest Sriprinks@gmail.com Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Hi, I have a software that can check for system process running on a computer. I wish to use this software to differentiate between a windows 2000 system and windows xp. Is there a system process that is specific and found only in Windows 2000 and not in windows xp? If there is one, then I can prevent windows 2000 systems from coming on to my network by first checking for this process and then blocking network access. Appreciate ur thoughts on this..

If I understand the question properly, you want to block a computer, a specific computer, that is running Windows 2000 from gaining access to your network. If you know the specific network settings for this particular computer, such as its IP address, port, etc., then block it at server's firewall. Or one can deny it access administratively to the network domain. But AFAIK, there is no intrinsic method of locating a Windows 2000 machine, unless previously identified, from the network itself.
