Serious NT / 2000 / XP bug

Security SetUp II - Light (all builds)

 

The problem
Security SetUp will 'run' on MS-Win NT / 2000, however it has a major problem it will only change the security settings for the profile logged in (hence the person using Security SetUp).  The reason for this bug is that Win NT / 2000 has a different way of handeling the Windows registry.

This will hopefully be solved in Security SetUp 2000 (or 2001) which hopefully will be ready around christmas 2001.  We cant give any details on nither releasedate or comapbility as the software has not been tested yet.

 

'Workaround'

The problem basicly makes Security SetUp rather worthless when talking Windows NT / 2000, however if you are dead set on using it you could do something like this (I know of a few users that has chosen this option).

If you are an administrator simply log in as the different users, setup security using Security SetUp (you can use the 'template' feature to avoid manually checking all the boxes) apply and logoff.  This has to be done for all users, and is thus only usefull if there is a limited number of users.
