Hello friends!

The following steps can be used to share multiple computers within a local area network:

1. Multiple computers must share the same network Internet connection, such as Netcom broadband access or mobile broadband access.

2. All of them should be the same in the same network segment, except for the last digit of the IP address.

3. To set up the working group and the calculation name, the same working group name must be used, but the computer name of each computer should be different.

4. Set up local users and groups. The settings in the general group remain the same. However, the settings in the user should straighten out the relationship and enable the guest account (guests).

Example: Clean up the user interface, generally keep three users: for example:

The name full name is described.

wwbs wu wang bu seng for guests....

zzy zhao zhi yi management meter....

fnc fenf ning chao

Double-click wwbs:

The regular "card" password never expires.

Affiliation with "administrators."

Double-click zzy:

The regular "card" password never expires.

Belong to the Card administrators

Regular" card users cannot change the password, and the password never expires.

Affiliated with the "Card Guests."

In Nagisa's example, the WWBS user is not displayed in the control panel, and it will only be displayed in the "Welcome Screen" after the ZZY is accidentally locked and the computer is restarted.

Of course, this kind of accident can also be manually implemented by setting "account lockout" in "Local Users and Groups" (the process of this implementation: Group Policy - Computer Configuration - Windows Settings - Security Settings - Account Policy - Account Lockout Policy - Account Lockout Gate - Lock the account after no lockout or several invalid logins).
