limit access to C Drive

[DoughboyII]

I have an NT lab of 24 workstations and 1 nt server running 4.0 I have users using a profile and have setup a policy also for the users. The C drive is NTFS and I have a D drive which is fat32 I don't want the users to have the ability to modify the C drive only the D Drive, but I don't see anything it the policy editor to allow me to do that any suggestions?

Must the users even access the c drive? If not, then don't share it. If they must, then set permissions on the folders they need to access and allow them to only read.

The C drive on the Server is not shared only certain folders the C drive I am talking about is on the Local Workstations. They have a C and a D drive. I want to limit there access to the local C drive to read only nothing else.

Same thing....

It can be tedious, but you simply setup the appropriate permissions on the C: drive of the local computer. Make the Program Files directory and sub structure read only, make the Temp directory Change control and lock down everything else. There is more to it than that, but I'm not aware of an 'automated/policy/whatever' that will make it easier unless you find a complicated and comprehensive login script.

Know it doesn't help.... but there is my $.02. Jason Wilder
