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.

Right-click each folder on the share in question, then set the
permissions
you need. If unsure how to do this, click Start / Help and look for
help on
"Permissions".
About not training your server administrators: Sooner or later you
will find
that this is a very expensive option you choose. Students are known
to be
clever and skillful when it comes to cracking protected systems.
Unless you
set up a robust security system your students will penetrate your
server and
access restricted data - maybe read your exam questions in advance,
maybe
modify their own exam results. It's only a question of time until it
happens.
Thanks for all your comments. If I were the one autnorizing training,
I would. At this point in time teachers are being laid off and
schools are being closed and classes are over booked... to save
money. Training techs is not even on the radar. Again, thanks.
True, but in a market like this there are a lot of trained and talented
geeks looking for work....I'm just sayin'.
