dns question
Greetings,
I have recently had an issue with the dns address on a windows xp professional workstation... some background. I have a windows domain environment, with sbs server 2003 R2 and 20 XP pro workstations. My work stations point to the server for DNS in the network settings tcp/ip dialog box. My ip's are all static, as well as the gateway. A recent virus/malware renamed the dns address to some address in russia. how can I lockdown the dns settings so that no program, malware, etc. can make changes to it. I assume something at the server level in group policy can handle this, but need some help in getting there. Anything is greatly appreciated. Thanks. -thebluefox

Since the user who got infested had to have administrative rights in order to make such changes - your answer is that you cannot. Take away administrative rights and do not use the computer daily with such rights. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
