We are trying to strengthen our file/pc/network security. We'd like to have some areas under maximum security. Can anyone suggest some good methods? We have a primarily NT/2000 network with a few 95/98 machines. I'd like to be able to ensure that some files can only be accessed by certain users etc. Also, is it possible to restrict users from saving files to their local machines or floppy disks? How about restricting them from saving files to certain drives? Thanks for any suggestions.

We use the Fortres Security program, and it works great. Fortres allows you to do all of the above. It was approximately $500 for a 100 site license. You can get it at www.fortres.com. Hope this helps, JAKE

NOTE: Fortres is compatible with all Windows product for 3.1/9x/NT/W2K/ME, and also Linux/Unix.

Dear Mary;
There are as many different solutions to your issues as there are issues to solve. I know that doesn't help very much but here are a few suggestions that might help:

1. Group Policies for you Windows 2000 environment
2. Poledit for your Win98/95 boxes
3. Distributed Security chapter from the Windows 2000 Deployment Planning Guide
4. IPSec Chapters from Windows 2000 Help and the Deployment Planning Guide
5. Routing and Remote Access pieces from the same.

I know that this isn't a tremendous amount of help, but with the scope of your question it is the best answer to provide at this time.

There are also a host of articles and information here on TechReplubic as well as other sites around the Internet and Microsoft.
You didn't give your background in the request, so I might also recommend an outside consultant to do a complete Security Review of your systems and help you analyze your priorities for locking down your network.

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Roger Baran
