I need a w2k server to manage permissions of a drive share on another
w2k system.

Basically, I want this one w2k system to simply act as an invisible
network storage 'box' where the drive(s) will managed entirely by the
w2k server.

Right now, there is 160G and 120G in this second machine shared and
included on the w2k server box in a DFS setup to make it 'easy' to get
to - except, if I need to add permissions for specific users, it has
to be done on the second machine (not an ideal setup).

Please advise if you've got any good ideas for this (moving the drives
to the server is not an option - too many drives there now).

Thanks!

You don't "override" permissions but you supply proper credentials
instead:

net use x: \\SomePC\SomeShare /user:SomePC\SomeUser SomePassword

"SomeUser"/"SomePassword" must be defined on "SomePC".
 
If you are on an AD domain, you can use group policy to set global
permissions on any file or folder on any PC. Find it under security
settings.
