Set Permissions on a folder by Computer Objects

[Guest Christine L]

I tried to set Permissions on a folder by Computer Objects, i.e. Allows

everyone to access that folder but denied some Computer from accessing

that folder no matter who logined that computer. But the permission by

computer entry never take effect when I test it. Anyone knows why?

Thanks a lot!

Re: Set Permissions on a folder by Computer Objects

 

Christine,

The computer object (computer$) means the computer account itself, e.g at

startup before anyone has logged on, and not "anyone using that computer".

Can I ask what you are trying to achieve? Do you want PersonA to be able to

use the folder from Computer1 but not from Computer2? Or do you mean

something different?

Dear Anthony

 

Thanks a lot! My situation is we have a 3rd party application should

be accessed by some designated computers on the network only. That

application required the server to share a folder as an application

folder which contained exe files for users to run. The problem is many

users goto the shared application folder themselves from non-designated

computers by browse from "My Network Places", so I want to set

permission to allow designated computers to access to that folder

only...

 

Regards

Christine

Re: Set Permissions on a folder by Computer Objects

 

Christine,

in AD terms and for permissions, the Computer is an object and the User is

an object. You want a User to be able to run an exe on a network folder when

he is logged on to one computer but not when logged on to another. There's

no realistic way to do that. The folder permissions don't care where the

user logged on from. I can see what you are getting at but I think you need

to re-examine. Things you could do:

- Put the exe on the machine you want them to run it from, and not on the

network. Your application people might say it does not run like that, but I

would be willing to bet that it can.

- Run the app under terminal services, so you don't care where they run it

from

- Use Group Policy to block the exe from running on all computers except the

ones where you want it to run.

There are probably some more complicated things you could do as well, but

that depends on exactly what you are trying to achieve.

Hope that helps,

Anthony,

Dear Anthony

 

Yes, you are right, I used Group Policy to control at last. Thanks a

lot for your help!
