It's
been my dream over ten years that NTFS would get similar permission feature to
what has been in NetWare all these years. When a user has permissions to a given
subfolder, it's almost always most logical that this subfolder (automatically or
implicitly up to the root) would become visible to her. And vice versa, when she
has no permissions to a subfolder, it would be logical that this subfolder is
invisible to her.
And it
has been my dream for six years that the same would apply to AD, as has always
been with NDS.
While
we are on the subject, another extremely handy feature of NDS would be most
welcome in AD. That is, each OU would be a sec prin, so if you want to grant
permissions to all people in the Sales OU, you wouldn't have to create a
paraller sec group for that.
Yours,
Sakari

Subject: [ActiveDir] Migrating access rights from Novell/NDS to W2K3/AD with NDS migra torHi,

Regards,
JorgePS.: I'm glad MS is going toward the permissions structure (with W2K3 SP1) like Novell has. It is still not perfect, but it's a begin. AND maybe some day (Windows 2011?) will be able to configure file system permissions through AD like that is possible with the NDS. The possibility of configuring permissions for the file system through GPOs is a nice feature but far from perfect. Also any thoughts on this are welcome.
