As of May 2011, all of the UCC's Windows machines run Steam. Steam presents an annoying set of problems, as it has not been engineered for a multi-user environment.
To fix steam, you need to set Advanced Permissions (these instructions are for Win7):
- Right click Steam directory
- Choose Properties
- Click Advanced button
- Choose "Change Permissions..."
- Delete any group listed except "Everyone", "gumby (UCCDOMAIN\gumby)", "wheel (UCCDOMAIN\wheel)", "winadmin (UCCDOMAIN\winadmin)" and "SYSTEM". If the list is missing any one of these groups, please add them.
- Set groups "Everyone" and "gumby (UCCDOMAIN\gumby)" with all permissions to Allow EXCEPT "Full control", "Take ownership" and "Change permissions", which should not be ticked either way.
- Set other groups to allow "Full Control"
- Select option "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object"
- Choose "Apply"
- Close dialog and choose "Owner" tab
- Ensure that owner is "SYSTEM"; if it is not, change it. Ensure you tick "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects".
