Hello I begin the tests on my PC with users and local privileges to see if at this level only the administrator can modify the software configuration. I reformat the HDD and install Kerio personnal firewall. The protection with password is enough. No user until administrator can open Kerio. All the log files are in a directory : C:\Program Files\Sunbelt Software\Personal Firewall\logs. I will probably let this files on the local machine. The free version don't make the network save of the logs. The HIPS service ( host-based intrusion prevention system ) is not useablle. No Web filter ( I know the file HOST and it's a good idea ) But, Kerio offer the possibility to import or export a basic congiguration : name.cfg. I will use this to deploy the same config on the network. That's will be a good beginning. What's a "dummy" user ? If i want to use a network deploiement, i will have to change my choice. Is there a free firewall with this option ? I know the file HOST and it's a good idea . Thanks.

Hello For the two on W98se, you have to use the netbios protocol to associate Name and IP adress. Add this protocol on the card configuration.

Yes, it's like a parental control on the computers of the network. A local protection against the ingenious studient who want to crack the system. Precision : I work on a high school ( aged betwenn 15 and 18 years ) with 800 studients who have a personnal access to the network ( script of connexion for each with access rights to the windows composants ). I can configure some programs but not for all of these and particularly the startup programs ( It's not easy to describe this network configuration in details ) Efficiently, I will be careful before deploying the solution. Why trace date of files, of installs ? It's important ? Why ? The principal problem will be about the users and the privileges. A battery of tests in situation is necessary. I will start with primary tests on a PCof the network with different users ( and different privileges ). Another precision, I only use freeware. About the parental configuration, I think about : - Kerio is a good firewall in this case ( protection with password ). + tests on configuration of the network. Jetico is too restritive. ZA : no password. I don't find the silent install of Outpost personnal firewall ( only for pro version ) - spywareguard or avorax shield ( i try silent install, that's dont work and i will try with AutoIt ). - CCleaner is at my opinion not sure in this configuration . Do you know similar tool with password protection ? I think if I install in administrator mode and configure the software( password ), another user can't open it. Right or wrong ? To be test. many many work in readiness. You answer me about remuneration. Yes, I've only two hours by week to the network's administration. It's not enough. The problem in France is that It's deploying technical solutions in schools but with no technicians. Personnally, i take on my time and money ( partial time of work ) to give a informatics degree.. What's the situation in USA's school ? in the education system ?

There is a hardware firewall ( an european product : Netasq , the "head")in the school network. It's a physical router. It's make real-time intrusion prevention, network and application firewall, advanced content filtering, , antispam, antispyware, URL filtering, IPSEC and SSL VPN . So, as you said, there is no need to deploy on each PC. But, in France, The Politic in the Education and Internet is too prevent every sort of mistakes about Internet ( log to site of Violence, Racism, Terrorism, .... ) or local intrusions. So, I have to install on computers ( in + of the hardware solution ) Firewall, antispyware and tools ( like ccleaner ). With over than 80 PC's in the network, I work on a silent install of these applications. But I don't know if the deployement of the applications is possible ( in silent install ) with multiple users ( administrator, teachers, studients ) and without I have to configure the firewall, the antispyware for each user. I hope you understand. Kenavo

Hello; "Network or Local ?". It's not a question, that's différent ways to security in a network. I have to deploy a solution to the security in a school network on all the computers ( 80 PC's ) It's a local deployement ( we have already firewall at the head of the network ) and i want to do a silent install of software. I test with success Kerio, Zone Alarm, Jetico but only on my PC's. Is there someone who has tried this sort of installation in a network ? I don't know if I will have problems with profiles, users, configuration ... Thanks and Kenavo ( as we say in Britanny )

I know MSFN for three years ( thanks for all tutorials for the unattended method ) I'm teacher in a school in Britanny and I 'm administrator of the network ( 80 PC's ). Silent install of applications is one of the reasons why i register to this forum. I have to install more and more of applications to PC's for security, .... So, I hope that my many questions find an answer.
