Folder question

Hi, everyone

I am using Windows 2003 sp1 with clients windows xp professional sp2.

I shared a folder in the server as network drive as K. Everyone can see all
folders from K but I need to created one User (Guest 2) logon on a specific
computer. This user cannot logon another computer.

My question is how to ONLY show a folder (temp2) from K but other folders
from K are not being shown.

Thanks your help

Jimmy

I'm presuming you're using AD, although you haven't mentioned it.

I would suggest that, rather than setting up a shared folder and setting
different permissions in its subfolders, you instead move temp2 out of the
"K" drive share and to another share. Otherwise this will become an
administrative nightmare.

When I set up a domain I like to use security groups to control access to
resources. So I would use something like "All Company Users" (or whatever)
to grant access to stuff that everyone needs, including the NTFS permissions
on the K drive share in your case. I would *not* put Guest 2 in that group,
so they would not have access to that data. I'd put the temp2 folder in
another share, and grant All Company Users and Guest Users (another group)
access to it.

 

Hello Jimmy,
maybe you may wanrt to look into access-based enumeration (ABE) to hide
folders from unauthorized users..I have some info about it on my blog
