Activity 8-6: Disabling Services
Time Required:
15 minutes
Objective:
Disable the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks and Client for
Microsoft Networks services.
Description:
You want to see the effect of disabling networking services on your client and
server.
1. Log on to your server as Administrator, if necessary.
2. Click the
Network Connections
icon on the Quick Launch toolbar.
3. Right-click
Local Area Connection
and click
Properties
. Click to clear the
File and Printer
Sharing for Microsoft Networks
check box, and then click
OK
.
4. First, log off Vista and restart before you continue with this step. Then log back on to the
domain from your Vista computer as Administrator, and open the Network and Sharing
Center. Click
View computers and devices
in the Tasks section. Notice that ServerXX is
listed. Unbinding File and Printer Sharing doesn't prevent the server from being discovered.
Double-click
ServerXX
.
5. After a while (possibly a minute or more), you should get a Network Error message stating
that Windows can't access \\serverXX (see Figure 8-10). Click the
Diagnose
button to run
Windows Network Diagnostics, which attempts to identify the problem. Windows Network
Diagnostics should determine that although the server is online, it's not responding to
requests (see Figure 8-11). This tool also suggests that a firewall is blocking the connection.
This diagnosis is incorrect, but unbinding the service from the interface has the same effect
as a firewall. Click
Cancel
.
