In Win2003, share permissions are everyone=read only by default. Change this
to Full Control for each share.
Personally, for your setup, I'd set them all up as separate folders at the
same level - and then set up the shares and NTFS permissions appropriately.
For example:
D:\APPS shared as APPS (or APPS$ for a hidden share)....NTFS permissions=
administrators & system=full control, users=whatever they need
D:\ KBPRO shared as KBPRO (or with the $) - same thing for NTFS permissions
D:\STUDENTS shared as STUDENTS/$ - administrators/system=full control,
users=modify
Then use a login script to map drives to these shares -
net use x: \\server\share /persistent:no
The advantage of hidden shares is that nobody can browse them.
