Vessaaa Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Firstly I would like to begin with that I'm a total "newb" when it comes to Network infrastructures and what not. However cmd was disabled in school and I got it to be enabled and changed the administrator password, now.. When I want to view some network drivers it would ask for a login blah, I'd use the "administrator" account that I use to login but it does not work and get access denied and other permissions.. Is there anyway I could get to view them?
elsiegee40 Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Can I ask why you enabled cmd? It is generally thought that disabling for everyone except the administrator saves alot of grief from over enthusiastic students trying to bypass security and safeguarding tools. As a school network admin you are responsible for a network that is there to serve teaching and learning ... and only that. There is much data on there that is subject to the Data Protection Act and fines, both corporate and personal, are massive and really do hapoen, even to schools. The school also has a Safeguarding duty of care to all its students. This means that schools must ensure that students stay safe in their care and are taught the means to stay safe when away from the school. Can you tell us more about your network, the organisation it serves, and your background, so that we can more easily judge how we pitch our answers. I would expect your school NM to be able to answer your question Edited December 3, 2014 by elsiegee40 1

It is generally thought that disabling for everyone except the administrator saves alot of grief from over enthusiastic students trying to bypass security and safeguarding tools. If your users aren't admin and you have other sufficient restrictions in place, there's no reason why you can't leave command prompt wide open. It hinders more than it helps, particularly when trying to diagnose problems on the user's end.

X-13 Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) I am favouring 'student'. Profile says they're 16, providing it's accurate. Le EDIT: Saying that... If it IS accurate, I'm worried for future generations. Problem: Unable to access network drives. Other information: Administrator account used for credentials. Access denied error message. Permissions issue. Diagnosis: That account doesn't have access to the network drives. Other credentials are needed. It aint rocket surgery. Edited December 4, 2014 by X-13

tmoon-mint Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I agree with all above, this is clearly a student. But perhaps we are better off educating the student on the legal implications they are causing for themselves if they continue to attempt to breach security measures on a school network. Gaining access to data that you are not entitled to see falls under the Computer misuse act (1990) which can under certain circumstances come with a prison sentence. 3
Patrick Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 The student has probably got a local admin account or something. Why don't you just go up the schools network manager and ask for the domain administrator account? He'll tell you exactly why you can't have it.

synaesthesia Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 innit! Sounds rather like they found that youtube video doing the rounds prompting people to block safe startup mode
X-13 Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 It has to be done: I was expecting a Simpsons reference... I was pleasantly surprised.
