Under Novell NetWare at my school, all executables were banned aside from those in the launcher.
Opening any office program, navigating to the Visual Basic macro editor environment, and using the file open dialog would execute any binary with no issue though!
- callesgg 6y agoIn the early 2000’s my school had some type of novel system. It would periodically log in and run some type of scheduled task without starting the desktop, just initiating a small window that said something like "updating profiles". you could right click the window and open the windows help window, right click that window and get a file browser from which you could run whatever you wanted. As a kid not knowing much about computers I thought that was so cool. I managed to "hack" and bypass the login. What a piece of shit software that thing was.
