Guest Attila Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Hi All, I would like to add an 'view' access to an user in Computer Management/Shared Folders/Open Files. (Windows 2003 server). When an user open it (Open Files), he get an error message, that he has not permission to view the open file list from windows clients. I have administrator rights, and I have work it. I cannot get Server Operator rights to this user, because he has to view open files or sessions only. Could someone give me help, how to give appropriate right to the user. Thank You, Attila
Guest JohnB Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Re: User access to view open files in computer management If you give the user access to Shared Folders, they will have access to everything else in Computer Management. Another option would be to run a batch file that will do this for you. Copy this text to a file named task.bat @echo off del files.txt net files >> files.txt Run that file from the server.

Guest Attila Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Re: User access to view open files in computer management Thanks the answer. How do you mean that 'If you give the user access to Shared Folders'. I set the shared permission is everyone full controll, and the folder permission is full controll for the user. I got the access denied message with both. (net file and computer management) Any other idea?

Guest JohnB Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Re: User access to view open files in computer management When I said "Shared Folders", I was referring to the shared folders entry in Computer Management. If you gave a user rights to that, they would have rights to everything else in Computer Management. You'll have to run the batch file as a scheduled task (on the server), under a local admin account. For the other user to be able to view the file, save - or redirect - it to a shared folder. Remember you can't use drive letters in a scheduled job. You'll have to use a UNC path. As an example; you have a folder off the root on the server called DATA. You create a subfolder in that called OpenFiles. And share that folder. You'd create a batch file on the server called Task.bat that would contain these lines: @echo off del \\ServerName\Data\OpenFiles\files.txt net files >> \\ServerName\Data\OpenFiles\files.txt Then run that batch file as a Scheduled Task HTH "Attila" <Attila@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0E3EABF6-2529-4CAC-BD67-713B44CF3F7C@microsoft.com... > Thanks the answer. > > How do you mean that 'If you give the user access to Shared Folders'. > > I set the shared permission is everyone full controll, and the folder > permission is full controll for the user. > I got the access denied message with both.

Guest Attila Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Re: User access to view open files in computer management Sorry, but I don't know, how can I give user rights to shared folders, open files, etc entry in computer management? The second solution is not really good for me. We have an application. A company manages this application. Sometimes we cannot run a part of application, because someone open a file (catch a file). The company's employee comes via VPN, and he would like to see who open the files. But he haven't access to do it. So I would like to give them an rights to see open files and close that sessions. I wouldn't give them Server Operators rights, because is more access what they need. If scheduled batch run at 6 AM and the problem is at 7 PM the information not live in files.txt. In addition they can see the open files only, but they don't close those one. "JohnB" wrote: > When I said "Shared Folders", I was referring to the shared folders entry in > Computer Management.
