Stop Moving the Folder Q.

[Guest Jonathan Morningstar]

How do I stop my users from accidently dragging and dropping folders into

other folders on a shared drive on my file server? It is a Windows 2003 R2

Server.

Hello Jonathan,

 

You have to use the Advanced option from the security tab. Unde rpermissions

find your group to reconfigure the rights and choose Edit, in the Apply onto

field you can specify on what level the groups have which right. So you can

choose for example, this folder only with List Folder / read data and the

level deeper you can give again full control. But test a bit what you need

in some test folders and test accounts and then reconfigure your shares.

 

Best regards

In addition to Meinolf's post - this is usually a losing battle, in my

experience. Setting up advanced NTFS permissions and staying on top of them

for folders as you create them is an administrative nightmare. At bottom,

this is a training issue. Train your users to use "right-click/drag" instead

of dragging, and to be very careful where they click in the first place.

How can you tell who is doing the dragging and dropping? I would love to

break on of their hands.

Hello Jonathan,

 

On the Advanced properties you can also enable Folder auditing for users

and groups to find who has done what. But it will create a lot entries in

the event viewer from the server.
