Workgroup Security

[IT Craig]

Hello All. I am the Network Admin for a medium sized company, that
refuses to make impacting changes to the current Implementation. Long
storey short, up to 2 years ago, the standard was P1 100, Win95, and a
printer along side every computer. (there were approx 70) The company
took off, and now have 500 Workstations running windows XP. They
refuse to pay for a domain controller, and I need to know if there is
anything I have missed in the WORKGROUP setup. I have users installing,
changing whatever they feel like. I have Party Poker servers running
on every night shift computer. I tried using MMC, and GPEDIT on the
local Workstations, but I am disabling those policies accross the Admin
accounts as well.
Any Ideas...This is a very long storey to post, Trust me Gurus, im not
new to this..

This .NET, a MS software developing platform, NG. I do not see it has
something to do with your topic.

However, 500 workstations without a domain/directory control? If I was the
network admin, I'd find new job somewhere else immediately.
