RE: Folder permissions

[Correa, Andre]

Title: RE: Folder permissions

My suggestions are as follows:   If the users are NT workstation, share the top-level folder (Users) as a hidden share, and use login scripts and have the following command in the logon script:   Subst H: \\Server1\Users$\%username%   If the clients are 2000 professional, just use login script to map the drive as follows,   Net use H: \\Server1\Users$\%username%   This is much easier, giving each user a �home� drive (hence the H drive letter) then doing what you wanted.� Plus, since the user folder is a hidden share, no one but the admin can see it.       ____________________________________________ Andre Correa Senior Manager/Information Technology Lexitron, Inc (201) 892-6399   -----Original Message----- From: EALES, Jack / RSAIFS - IOM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 8:34 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Folder permissions   Not quite an answer to your question.... but a solution perhaps - share each home dir instead, and point a standard drive to it (P for personal is logical...??) using profiles in NT or group policy in Win2K. Controlling access is a bit more work if you want to keep admin shares - but it works for us. -----Original Message----- From: Terry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 05 September 2001 13:36 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Folder permissions   THIS MESSAGE ORIGINATED ON THE INTERNET - Please read the detailed disclaimer below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------   Has anyone played around with the permissions enough to answer my question. I want to be able to give read access to a folder, but only allow users to be able to see the folders that they have permissions to below that folder. If I have a share called temp, and there are folders below that called temp2 and temp3, but they only have access to temp2, I do not want them to see temp3 folder. I have played with the advanced tab objects, but have not been able to work. I am using this for student access in a school, but I want to make it as easy as possible for the students to find their home directory, without having to scroll through alot of directories.
