share any folder (as you say "Creating a share").

====================

I don't know which particular user right controls the ability to create
shares. You probably have three options:

a) Run gpedit.msc and check out the numerous options available there.

b) Wait until another respondend reads your note and provides an answer.

c) Insteat of letting users create shares, tell them to create folders.
Under Win2000 they can be used as shares.

Example:

net share sharingfolder="d:\new folder" (performed by ad administrator)
md "d:\new folder\share1" (performed by a user)
md "d:\new folder\share2" (performed by a user)

Users can now connect to the new folders like so:

net use x: \\SomeServer\sharingfolder\share1
net use y: \\SomeServer\sharingfolder\share2
