Server question from a high school teacher:
How can I advise my techs to create permissions so that Start>
MyComputer will ONLY take the student into specific folders on the
server?
Why? To my surprise, this year my students can no longer access or
even see My Computer. Hence, they are blocked from the folders
where
they retrieve and deposit their class work. I need to get their
access back to these server based folders WITHOUT offering them
entry ways into sensitive areas that the tech wants to protect.


Mhm. Sorry to say this but if your server administrators are unable
to set appropriate share or folder permissions then you should
either
let them attend an appropriate training course or replace them by
competent people. Setting permissions is basic stuff for a server
admin.

I agree, and it sounds as though someone has gone crazy with GPOs.
To the OP: your students should be saving to redirected folders on the

server, not local drives, and the tech should restrict access to the
local
drives only.

As the teacher who posted this question... thank you for your comments.
I take it from what you have written that it is possible for my students
to click on Start > MyComputer and then be allowed to go ONLY to the two
folders (on the server) and NO where else.

If this is so; without challenging people for whom there is no money
for training and who find it easier and cheaper to just restrict ALL
students, please tell me how I might encourage/tell them to set the
permissions so that ONLY my students can access the folders on the
server where I have their class materials and where they turn in their
completed work?

Thank you.
