Users and Groups management on 7 Home Premium
- by AviD
Recently upgraded the home pc from XP pro, to Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm looking for a solution for a few things that seem to be missing from this edition...
Since Local Users and Groups is blocked on Home Premium, I can't figure out how to manage groups, or even do anything even slightly advanced to users (basically, create/group/picture is it).
net localgroup, net users, net etc dont seem to work - getting "system error 5".
While I'm on the topic, I cant activate (what was once) "Local Security Policy"...
Looking for any help, advice, or even a new direction cuz things is differ'nt on Winnows7...
To clarify, I'm looking to do some of the following, which were simply back in XP-land:
remote user only (i.e. no local logon)
Grant special privileges for specific user
grant access to e.g. C$ share for specific remote user
create custom groups for users, to be able to separate privileges of say, my wife's from my kids
define quite specifically what each user can do (beyond just standard users)
Harden OS (hmm, i guess maybe what i'm looking for is security hardening guide for 7...?)
