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 Manage 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.
4
Click OK .
An invitation to join the managed network is sent to the
computer. When the computer accepts the invitation, two
playing cards appear.
5
Confirm that the playing cards are the same as those
displayed on the computer that you have invited to join the
managed network.
6
Click Grant Access .
Note: If the computer you invited 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. Allowing the computer to join
the network can place other computers at risk; therefore, click
Reject Access in the security confirmation dialog box.
