Hi, Is it possible to prevent users in my team from using some passwords? I know that the easy way to tackle this is to change the password, but would it be possible to ban a computer which is joined to the domain to use that password? So if my colleague logs onto a machine called ABC, it canno...

Does anyone know if this possible so I can call a Perl script directly from within WSH if I embed it in a WSF? A lot of searching on Google, and the lack of clear answers, makes it sound like only ActiveState Perl/Python implementations come out of the box with this. Specifically, I am interest...

Since sometime around last wednesday (8/4/10) I've had multiple users report that their D: drive now appears to be write protected. Even though the users are members of the Administrators group for their machines they get an error when attempting to modify the owner/permissions or write a file to...
