It's a Windows 95 browser problem, although I was not aware of any server limitation - 2KSP2 Server that is currently a DC (One of four). Anyone know of any?

What's your Budget like? A lot of the NAS Devices (NetApps I know of) have custom configs for home directories with no limitations on shares.

I wish it were that simple =). No my problem here isn't Management, as everyone typically whines about. It's that I work at a $$$$ liberal arts college where much of our users are tenured faculty who don't like change and don't like being told what to do on their computers (we can get away with this for the administrative staff). You can't tell a PHD with poor vision that they just have to look for their folder to save things in amongst 1199 other folders until they are due for the hardware upgrade with new OS. Anyhow, I can script creation of the shares and set proper NTFS permissions, but just wondering whether having 1200 hidden shares will affect the problem listed in Q160807. Any other takers?? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 9:40 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Re: Do hidden shares affect browsing? From reading the KB article, I would answer your Q "Yes" - but I don't have experience with it first hand. In addressing your scenario, I presume you have a folder on the server called USERS (or the like) and all user folders under it. You're using Novell to map to \\server\USERS\%USERNAME% right? And you want to make an NT share *for each user* ala \\NTServer\%USERNAME%$ ? Why? Hopefully I'm misunderstanding you. Set up ONE share: \\NTServer\USERS and use NTFS security underneath to allow access to the appropriate folders. With Win2K clients, you can map a drive to \\NTServer\USERS\%USERNAME% and your pre-Win2K clients, you simply map to \\NTServer\USERS and they'll have to manually open their folder. Then -- move to Win2K. :) Alexander Kha Do writes: > According to Q160807, Win95 has a hell of a time browsing or making a > UNC connection if there are more that 1000 shares.
