I use groups for users...as stated..
It makes it easier to manage.
We have a database program, users need access to the db files, and also several other folders with various rights to install and run the program. Consists of many folders and hidden shares.
By adding and removing from the group...makes it easy to grant access once the groups permissions are set up....instead of indivually assigning rights per user
For home files...no just user, system and admins
BTW...any one know how to hide mapped drives...w2k and\or xp :what:

You mean hide mapped drives as in hidden share? You "hide" a share by appending a $ to the share when you create it. When you map it, simply add the $ to the share name.
net use x: \\server\share$
x "drive" will be assigned to \\server\share$
if you simply do a
net use \\server\share$
The drive is mapped, but not assigned to any specific "drive" letter.
Or do you mean once a drive is mapped, you don't want the user to be able to see it in windows explorer, net use, etc.?
It appears that you can hide mapped drives via group policy too.

I have hidden shares...which need to be mapped...and I do not want the users to even see them..poke around...you know how the little buggers are...
"ummmm.... whats this......" :rolleyes:
I also need the drive letter...although would be nice if I didnt but it is an older app...and really doesnt respond well to unc paths.....also the outside reporting app uses the drive letter for the data path..I didnt write the reports so not sure if that can be modified
The problem is all users started dumping all kinds of crap into it....even though each department has its own shared directory for this kind of thing...I finally cleaned up.
...I just dont want them to see it
anyway thanks for the link....will look into it

morganlefay: Thats what I figured... sometimes you just have to verify the obvious.
You can play with that if you want... however, it looks a bit confusing. Don't ask me why they're adding "hexidecimal values" in base 10! See step 4 in that link... It would seem to me if you're going to have hexidecimal values, they should be added in hex?
Maybe the "author" was confused... as it doesn't appear that of those values are hexidecimal.
At lease, none of them have any letters... lol
