I have been searching for an analysis that will basically tells me if the desktop has “File and Print” enabled.
Anyone have any idea on what I should be looking for?, I think the answer is in the “HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters”, but I cant find the registry that just states the status of “F&P”.
Well, you’ll probably need to check the firewall to see if File and Printer Sharing has been blocked… maybe that should be a separate property in the analysis though.
I acutally found out that the Lanmanserver service supports file, print and named-pipe sharing over the network for the computer. If this service is stopped, these funcitons will be unavailable. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depends on it will fail to start.
Here is my logic (fairly easy): exists running service “Lanmanserver”
This however doesnt give me any further granulatity to see if for example, file sharing is disbabled but printing is enabled.
