Disable disk compression on W2K server

[nicowahoo]

In desperate need of assistance.
Several of our Windows 2000 SP4 servers have their SAN (EVA8000) LUN's compressed. For obvious reasons we do not want to compress these network drives, however everytime we uncompress them we are finding that they are compressed again a few days or weeks later. What we have determined is that users who can access these drives have the ability to compress them on their own. We have tried to research GPO's and other Windows 2000 server settings to disable this function for the users control, but to no avail. Is there any way that disk compression can be can be taken out of the hands of general users and/or disabled all together?

This is a great question, I hope someone can answer it. I've been researching it myself. Microsoft's documentation on NTFS event states that if you do not have the compression attribute check on the volume or root of the share, that users can still compress files. They state that this is not a problem because there would be less data compression than compressing the whole volume. I attempted to use NTFS Special permissions to Deny access to the attributes, but this was not the solution.
I will check computer and user policy GPO for an answer. If anyone knows please chime in...
