Question : Debugger User Group Follow-Up question

Hi,

I'm not sure if I am allowed to ask a specific expert to answer a question or not? and if so how as I can't see that in the help files.

So, if possible this is for Jeff - TechSoEasy.

Jeff you answerd a previous question for me

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/SBS_Small_Business_Server/Q_21860451.html

in which the final part of that question was says

..............................installed exactly as you described but I do have one small question which is just clarification of an observation really.

On the SBS 2003 server I added a user as a mobile user then I ran the /connectcomputer and I allowed SBS to rename the local PC and all is fine. What I noticed though is that in the local PC - Users - that user is in the group "Debugger User" is that correct?

Jeffs Answer.......No, it's not correct and I haven't found out why that happens yet.  It has something to do with MSDE or SQL I think, but it is a problem that needs to be corrected manually.  (It happens to me all the time but I've yet to figure out the consistency).

If you remove the user from the DeBugger Group and put him in the Local Administrators group, he'll end up back in the DeBugger if you don't delete that group... I've found no reason to keep the group so go ahead and delete it after moving the user to the local admins.

I removed the group "debugger users" on the user PC's. Is there a way to remove that Debugger Group box completely so this does not happen next time you run /connectcomputer?

Thanks

Answer : Debugger User Group Follow-Up question

You're certainly allowed to ask... but that doesn't mean that others won't answer... which is why it's better to just reference the previous question and leave it open for anyone to answer... you're odds are better at getting a quicker, and possibly more accurate answer that way.

I've recently discovered why this happens... if Office 2003 is installed with the option to allow access to Web Scripting/Debugging, then the user is added to that group.  See: http://snipurl.com/rptx for a good overview of why this occurs.

So the way to avoid this is to not do a FULL Install of Office, with at least that component not installed.
