File permissions and User accounts on a Domain

[bindu143]

Hi
We use windows 2003 Server/XP on our network. We have two different domains admin and education domain( Teacheres and students belong to Educational Domain). The education domain runs on a group policy. Now the students are going to do their exams on a PC which is on our nertwork and they savie the completed work to local USB Stick. After completiting the work , the students will handover the USB stick to the Teacher incharge of the exam and the teacher will now go to her desk and access the document on individual students USB sticks and award the marks accordingly.

Now is there a way by which i can avoid using USB stick method and configure and setup our educational domain so that users save directly on the network and teachers can acces that area later. But only thing is the students should not be able to access the document again on the network after they complete the exams.Any ideas will be appreciated

Thanks

Could you not have them login into the workstation given their own login (you can make as generic as you want - just document which student is using which account) - and have that account able to access only its own HOME directory ... when its time to save their exam - they can name it their own name to their "X:\HOMEDIR".
Give the Teachers access to this share - and voila - no USB sticks.

Make sure that when setting up the home drive in ADUC - in the profile tab of each individual account that they have access to ONLY their own home dir....

Can you not just give read and write access to the share?

Yip.. but setting it up from the Profile Tab in ADUC saves you from having to set up each individual folder -- once you've entered a path for the Home directory in ADUC it creates the resources for you ... just quicker and easier..

But essentially, ya, it's doing just that!

And.. it also sets up the permissions so that only that user can see that resource .. saves a lot of steps.
