RE: Migrating Shared Folders, NW to MS

Hi Dave,

I'm not very clear what goal you want achieve. My guess is: you want to
make every user can "see" the folder but some can only read and others have
full control.

I think it is an easy way for NTFS. You just separate the 2 kind of users
into 2 different groups. Grant group A with read rights to a fixed folder
and group B with full controls.

I have some articles for your reference:

I want to introduce a Distributed File System to you, which I think you may
get help from it.

I hope the information as above can help. Thanks for using Microsoft
Newsgroup.

| I am ready to start moving users from a Netware file server to a MS
| Server2003 file server. Currently there are about 50 folders
(directories)
| under the root drive of the volume on the Netware server. In Netware the
| Admin adds a directory at which users have no rights. The admin then
adds
| users or groups and assigns security that is appropriate.
|
| MS uses "shares" and also has NTFS permissions, a combination of concepts
| that still confuse me. I want to setup the MS file server to appear as
| closely as possible as the NE server does to the users. Should I setup a
| share and then add all the directories under that and setup security and
| permissions?? Any individual users should only have the ability to see
| folders that they have a need to see, and then some will be Read Only and
| others Full Control.
|
| Currently I have a NW "Data" volume, I have setup my MS server with a
| seperate logical drive; "D" and named it "Data". Now I need to add the
50+
| folders on that D drive and assign groups and users the same level of
access
| as they currently have.
|
| I will not be migrating anything, I will be having a phased approach
where
| individual folders will be moved from one OS to the other over time.
Users
| will have access to folders on both systems but obviously any particular
| folder will only be accessible from one system at a time.
|
| Any advice or guidance on setting up a file server and security
assignments
| for users?
