Re: Sharing a drive on my computer with others

Create a folder on the drive. I prefer to share folders rather than drives even if there is only the one folder on the drive. Share the folder. Make sure the "domain users" group has full share and NTFS permissions. Remove the "everyone" group from the NTFS permissions. Anyone logged on to the domain will be able to get full access to the files. Anyone not logged on to the domain (e.g. some unknown wireless connection) won't be able to access the files.

Sorry about leaving the information out, Here it is
The SBS 2003 is the domain controller and all the computers joined the
domain. All the computers have windows XP pro. No it doesn't matter who else
on the network can see the photos.

The sbs 2003 is the exchange server which controls the e-mail it was the web
server as well until I moved the web else where.

I hope this helps.

In order to help there are a few details needed. Do you mean Small Business
Server 2003? If it's SBS 2003 or the server is configured to be a domain
controller are all the computers joined to the domain? If you're using a
workgroup and the server is just a file server what OS are the computers
that will be sharing the 250 GB drive using (e.g. XP Pro, XP Home, Windows
2000 Pro, Windows 98)? Does it matter if the other computers can see the
photos or do you want to restrict access to just the two of you?
