Unfortunately, that's the way it is.  Unlike Netware, which does not
show the folder unless you have permissions to it, NT/Win2K shows them
all (but of course does not allow access without permission).  You're
not the first to beat your head against the wall on that one.

Some folks have tried being creative with hidden shares, but those
schemes tend to be more adminsitrative trouble than they're worth.

If anybody can prove me wrong on this I would love it !

Subject: [ActiveDir] Visible Folders


I think I am beating my head against a wall here.  Maybe someone can
tell me 
yes or no.

I am setting up an new Corporate 2000 Server. I want to put a group of 
applications in an APP Folder -- each under their own Subfolder
(Accounting,
 ACT, Payroll)  I want to map all the groups computers identically with
two 
Maps 1 to their user directory, and the other to this APP folder.  I am 
trying to set sharing and security such that if the user explores the
APP 
Folder he sees only the folders (applications) for which he has
permissions.


I can find no way to not have the folders visible. -- True they are not 
accessible, but potentially there would be a large number of folders --
most 
of which the given user could not access.  Is it Possible??
