Re: Windows 2000 - Read only access for developers.

Interesting, I've never considered the guest account, is it of any use in
Server2000? I'll read up on its designed purpose.

In the internal domain developers can already see the Event Viewer and COM+
remotely using a normal domain account permissions, I think this is default
behaviour, if it not then the server team must have turned this access on
via GPO or something. In addition the developers will need shares to
relevant directories (not as a problem) but also a view into IIS and the
Registry.

The last two I suppose are the problem, I've never tweaked the permissions a
lot for these (outside tiered app/web/db permission structures that is).

The thing is, the more key services I make available remotely via different
methods the more dispersed all the information becomes and the more the
developers will dislike it. I was hoping for a quick fix but looks like I'm
going to have to take the long road?!?

Thoughts always welcome!

Oli.

Depends a lot on what they need read-only access to. Most items they might
need to see would typically have access denied from say the guest account.
You'd probably need to make some major policy changes to your production
servers in order to effect this.
