Am I missing any options? Objective: set up server folder / storage area for access by specified users only (no admin access allowed) in the NT / WIN2K server environment.
Options, from worst to best: * Set up a folder with access allowed for specified users only. This will not work in our environment because the admins for the domain can take ownership of any folder. * Set up a separate server and domain with the specified users the only admins. The specified users would have to maintain the domain (and server). Also, with physical access to the server, knowledgeable people with enough time and effort could access the separate server and domain. * Use the password options of Word, Excel and other applications. There are software packages that can crack into these files. * Share a folder on the PC of one of the specified users. Anyone on the LAN with enough knowledge, time, and effort could hack into a shared folder. * Use available software packages to make files in a folder encrypted. Knowledgeable people with enough time and effort could compromise such files. * Store the files on an offsite third party system. It could be made difficult for anyone beyond the specified users to know that this type of storage arrangement had even been set up. Admins of the third party may be able to access the information.
