Guest boe Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Hello, We are running Windows 2003 x64 R2 SP2. We have a shared drive S: with lots of subfolders. They don't want to break it down into other shares. If for example sales should see: S:\sales S:\general S:\junk and production should see S:\production S:\general S:\junk S:\files but the people in those groups shouldn't see any other folders listed, how do I go about that? Thanks
Guest Ryan Hanisco Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 RE: Best way to hide folders in shares Hi Boe, If you are using Server 2003 SP1 or greater, you can use a feature called Access Based Enumeration (ABE). This will allow you to display only folders that your users have access to. Others will be hidden. If you are on an older version of windows or haven't patched, you are stuck. You can download ABE as well as find the documentation on the MS site. Here is a good starting point: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=04A563D9-78D9-4342-A485-B030AC442084&displaylang=en Hope this does it for you. -- Ryan Hanisco MCSE, MCTS: SQL 2005, Project+ http://www.techsterity.com Chicago, IL Remember: Marking helpful answers helps everyone find the info they need quickly.
