Re: Ultra secure and user friendly file sharing on Server 2003?

It doesn't look like that addresses network sniffing. The files are not
encrypted with EFS while being transferred across the network and I don't
think EFS is user friendly enough for the people who need to use it.

We need to be able to securely share some financial and HR records on
our internal LAN and it needs to be more secure than simply adding
NTFS ACLs.

All access needs to be audited and it needs to be secure from network
sniffing.

What is the best way to do this that will be secure and not involve
much or any new user training (we do not want to have them learn how
to do FTP transfers etc.)
Ideally, those with access would be able to access these shares the
way they are used to in Windows Explorer.

There's nothing built in. You could use EFS in addition to locking down the
security via NTFS permissions. Set up a group for access, and enable strict
auditing. But be very careful with EFS. It works.

Remember: hire only admins you can trust. If you want your IT staff to
manage the data, they will need some access to it.
