HI all

is there a tweak to hide a workgroup or a domainname in windows NT 4, or is it possible to hide computers i.e 95/98 client machines or NT member servers who are in that workgroup or domain. I need to do this since we have a large network with several workgroups, there is no single policy followed here, so all users get to see which workgroups are in the network and can just change their network identification and they are in that workgroup, there are certain machines whicj are very important and I wish to hide them or better still I hide an entire workgroup or domain

Warm Regards

Arun Solomon

this tweak will hide them w/o disabling access to them if that's what you were looking for, Sean
