Hmm - I don't think this is hard to do (based on your requirements below). A few groups and NTFS permissions accomplishes this.
You could have some folders setup as a template, and an admin would copy those folders for each new client and just run a script that re-ACLs the folders... (I am assuming that the same Testers have access to all Test Results folders, rather than there being a group for each new client) Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Kaiser [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 10 August 2010 12:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: File server structure and perms I've been tasked with setting up a file server structure for a client. SBS 2008. We normally set up Home, Shared, and Public. Client wants a completely different paradigm. They want a master folder for each of their clients, with subfolders below that which have varying permissions. So for example: Client master folder ->test results ->notes ->estimates ->contracts Each of the subfolders would have different perms; techs writing data to test results would not have access to estimates, for example. They also wish to have a template setup so that each time they add a client, they can put this structure in place and have the appropriate permissions in effect. I don't see a simple way to do this. It looks to be highly IT-intensive, which is not what we nor the client would like. It almost sounds more like a sharepoint thing, although I have little first-hand knowledge of sharepoint deployments. Any suggestions?
