Hi All,

Does anyone know of a tweak to prohibit all users (except
Admin, of course) from creating any new shares (eg. sharing
a personal folder)? It's all too easy for a user to share
one of his/her folders with Everyone:Full Control
permissions. Thanks.

Kam.

There's probably a more elegant solution, but one workaround
might be to disable the Server service on their workstations.
This would disallow any local shares being created, but if they
have other local shares which are required (e.g. file or printer)
then this obviously isn't an option.
