Win2003 Server Help request

[Guest Steve]

Tried to ask a question about Windows 2003 Server on this newsgroup

previously but did not get any response.

Perhaps if I rephrase my question, someone could point me in the right

direction.

 

Running a new installation of Windows 2003 on a corporate network with

local machine admin rights. The machine is part of the corporate

domain but I do not have access to the domain. The server is only for

file sharing. Domain users can access shared folders. My desire to

block write access to the shared folder for everyone except the

required managers and techs is stymied by the fact that every time I

try to setup a user group for the selected users, the server requests

the domain administrator's user name and password (which are not

available to myself).

Is there a way to get around this roadblock and setup a user group

with domain IDs so that the proper users can write to selected folders

and everyone else set to read only?

 

Thanks in advance... Steve

If they have the domain locked down to where there is no anonymous LDAP

queries, then probably not. You will not need domain administrator access

just normal domain user access to be able query for a domain user's SID.
