Chapter 26 Introduction 141 Join a managed network When you receive an invitation to join a managed network, you can accept it or reject it. You can also determine whether you want this computer and other computers on the network to monitor each other's security settings (for example, whether a computer's virus protection services are up-to-date). 1 In the Managed Network dialog box, ensure that the Allow every computer on this network to monitor security settings check box is selected. 2 Click Join. When you accept the invitation, two playing cards appear. 3 Confirm that the playing cards are the same as those displayed on the computer that invited you to join the managed network. 4 Click OK. Note: If the computer that invited you to join the managed network does not display the same playing cards that appear in the security confirmation dialog box, there has been a security breach on the managed network. Joining the network can place your computer at risk; therefore, click Cancel in the Managed Network dialog box. Invite a computer to join the managed network If a computer is added to the managed network, or another unmanaged computer exists on the network, you can invite that computer to join the managed network. Only computers with administrative permissions on the network can invite other computers to join. When you send the invitation, you also specify the permission level you want to assign to the joining computer. 1 Click an unmanaged computer's icon in the network map. 2 Click Monitor this computer under I want to. 3 In the Invite a computer to join the managed network dialog box, do one of the following: ƒ Click Allow guest access to managed network programs to allow the computer access to the network (you can use this option for temporary users in your home). ƒ Click Allow full access to managed network programs to allow the computer access to the network. ƒ Click Allow administrative access to managed network programs to allow the computer access to the network with administrative permissions. It also allows the computer to grant access to other computers that want to join the managed network.
