The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Reapplying default security policy

Asked by esbfern in Operating Systems Network Security, Windows Network Security, Active Directory

Tags: Microsoft, Server 2003 and XP, Secedit security template

We needed to make a change to the security settings on client computers. Basically all users were brought down from PowerUsers to Users on their local computers. When this happened some applications broke because the Localhost\users group didn't have access to write to certain folders. Well instead of finding those folders, we granted to localhost\users group read/write to the C:\ and propigated those permissions down. Now, this worked but we want to take the read\write away from the users group and only specify the certain folders read/write access to those users. Basically we want to restore the default settings.
I've been reading about the setup security.inf file. this file is created when windows is installed. Basically we want to restore just the file permissions part of the setup security.inf file (as this is the only change we made) to what they were when the OS was installed. We could deploy this via GPO but this template is very large and would cause strain on the network as when the policy is applied it would take some time to apply. So, what I want to do is to utilize this setup security.inf file that is on all computers. I would like to on startup call a batch file that would kick off a secedit to reapply the setup security.inf file on the local comptuer...thus utilizing a local copy of the setup security.inf file locally and not hinder the network. Trying to get some peoples thoughts/concerns/and recomendations.
