We recently recieved a new domain controller to replace
our NT box. We needed to give someone in NY city access to
the whole parent shared drive with the permission
to "read" with a domain ID which we had created, not a
local user ID on the actual box so that can access the box
VIA the network. Under this parent directory, we have a in
depth folder structure with a particular folder that this
person needs FULL access for. Now, I have run into a
problem. I was able to accomplish this with Windows 2000,
with no problem, but Windows 2003 is a tad different it
seems. With this version, the only way I can give this
shared drive permission to this user so he may modify this
folder, is if I give the root directory, or the actual
drive its self that is shared full access. I do not want
this, as I do not want him to have full access to each
folder. So instead, I gave him the read attribute of the
entire drive, and then gave the full access option to the
folder that was needed for him. Now, the only way I could
do that is if I shared the folder, along with the root
drive. That does not seem right to me, nor did it work. So
now I am stumped because I just am not able to figure out
how to give specific rights to a folder, when it seems
they are being over ridden by the root directory
permissions. If anyone has any ideas, or thoughts I am
open for all suggestions. Also, they are just a domain
user account, would that have any affect on the matter?
