  1. standalone computer, multiple users, shared jobs


    Hey guys,


    So I have a weird situation. I have several standalone computers in my organization that currently utilize a single shared user account that many people use on a regular basis. The reasoning is if they start a job (lets say running a 3D print job that takes several hours) they want to start the job on first shift and have second shift employees be able to log in and monitor that particular job. Is there away that I can have individual user accounts (for tracking purposes) that can all access a single on going job?

    :)

  2. Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!

    Cannot access shared network drive


    Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


    If this helps.
    step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
    step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
    step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
    step 3a remove Everyone from list
    step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
    step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

    Shared Printer on a Private Network w/ Multiple Users


    Hey there,

    So as the title suggests I have multiple laptops connected to a Private Network, along with the printers we're using. The printers aren't shared, they're accessed separately by each individual laptop.
    What I'm trying to accomplish is to have my laptop share all the printers with each user (I'm able to do this already) while having the source laptops request to the printer come on my Event Viewer log.
    As it is now, when I share a printer with another laptop and that laptop makes a print request, it goes through my personal laptop and pops up in the Event Viewer as if I made the request for a print job my self.
    I would like to be able to log all the print jobs sent to each printer (4 in total) in order to have a count of our much we're printing/paper we're using.

    Thanks ahead of time for those who are able to help in any way.
