We first reviewed Microsoft's new small network workstation shared access tool, 'SteadyState' just a few weeks ago.
Earlier today, the tool was upgraded to SteadyState version 2.5 and now supports Windows XP (SP2 and SP3) as well as Vista.
Formerly known as the Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP, SteadyState delivers a (very) easy to use interface for small group administrators to manage permissions on individual workstations and more.
The utility is a true time saver and can be deployed easily and quickly across small and medium size networks.
The new version of SteadyState can be downloaded here, as well as a new handbook which can be found here.
