I have a win 2000 server with shares from a number of users.
Right now, they can all read and write / delete eachothers files from eachothers shares.
How can I change it so that they can only view eachothers files / access them, but not change them?
And, is there a way that I can have this done on a automatic level, such as just changing a setting so that i dont have to go to each share folder and change permsisions?

Sorta a newbie question, but thank you!
 
Hi,

When you create a user, in the home folder section under the "Profile" tab,
Select the "Connect" radio button.
Select a drive letter (like U: for users...)
In the To: text box, enter the path
\\server name\users\users name ( ex. user mike on server pdc1 would be \\pdc1\users\mike

Make sure all your users are NOT part of the administrators

Every user will have its own folder that is mapped and private.


you can also set time of all your workstation and map drives by adding this into a simple text file and name it log.bat

@echo off

REM ************ Synchro time **************
net time \\pdc2 /set /yes
REM ****************************************
REM map shared folder commun on the workstation as K:
net use k: \\pdc2\commun /y


This text file can be saved into the folowing folder (server name is your server)
C:\WINNT\sysvol\sysvol\server name\scripts


Add this file name into the "login script:" text box into the profile tab of each user.


Hope this will help
