Re: Users can't log in to sharted directory

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The individual users directorys are full use for user/administrator. There
is a security issue as well, as the network is at a school for disruptive
kids, therefore each user can only have access to his or her directory, none
of the others.

If I give 'Everybody' full access, won't that remove the security of the
users directories?

Hi, All,

Apologies if this is going over old ground, but this server admin stuff is
all new to me!

My users are having a problem saving to their individual directories on a
shared drive on our W2K server.

Windows 2000 server used purely as a file server.

c:\ has a shared directory for all user files. The shared directory has
full
use permissions set.

Permissions for the users directories is set as user/Administrator/full
control

No inherited permissions

Workstations are XPPro

Each has a user account set as 'limited' on the XP Workstations

Each has a 'Y' drive which is the shared directory on the server

Users can access only their directory, but can't save anything to it

Users with admin rights can access their directory but can't save to it

Logged in as admin can access and save to any directory

Basically, if you're logged in as 'Administrator' you can do whatever you
like, which is as it should be, but logged in as any user other than
'Administrator' whatever your level of control won't allow saving to the
shared network drive 'Y'

It's got to be something simple and I'm probably having a 'senior' moment
but right now it's giving me sleepless nights!

All and any help gratefully received!

Cheers, All


So far you have set the NTFS permissions for the user folders.
You must now set the permissions for the Shares to "Full access
for everyone".

Note that it's not a good idea for user shares to reside on the
system drive. They should be on a dedicated data drive.
