Hi,

I have many folders under my share drive eg,

share\finance
share\sales
share\production

I only want to create one share and have non inherited rights to sub
folders.

My problem is all users can view folder names in the root of share. Is there
a way of fixing this.
share has full control and all other rights to sub folders are given through
non inherited NTFS.

Is this the best method/practice for mapping a single drive for clients?

Thanks in advance

Daniel
 
Use the follow script within Logon Script to map recures by group membership

On Error Resume Next

Dim net, DomainString, UserString, UserObj

set net = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Network")

DomainString = net.UserDomain
UserString = net.UserName


Set UserObj = GetObject("WinNT://" & DomainString & "/" & UserString)

For Each GroupObj In UserObj.Groups
Select Case GroupObj.Name

Case "Finance"
' *** Connect Network Drives by group

net.MapNetworkDrive "G:", "\\SERVER\SHARE\Finance"

' *** Add printers by gorup

net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\printsrv\P-Finance01"

' *** Set default printer

net.SetDefaultPrinter "\\printsrv\P-Finance01"

Case "Sales"
' *** Connect Network Drives by group

net.MapNetworkDrive "G:", "\\SERVER\SHARE\Sales"

' *** Add printers by gorup

net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\printsrv\P-Sales01"

' *** Set default printer

net.SetDefaultPrinter "\\printsrv\P-Sales01"

End Select
Next

ok that helps if I want multiple mapped drives but a large directory
structure could have more than 27 mapped drives and this solution would not
be practical.

On a Novell server you can have one mapped drive and any folders I don't
have access to are not viewable.

if I was in the finance, and production group

I would get two mapped drives.

I really want one mapped drive with only the directories the user has access
to viewable.

eg. mapped drive is s:\

s:\production
s:\finance

s:\sales is not viewable because of ntfs rights.

I this possible?

Thanks Again

Hello, I'm sorry you can't hide objects with in a folder that the particular
user , group or computer have read / List content to. Unless you want to
prevent them from access the folder at all.

Oh well, Thanks anyway

I was hoping it would work.

Would most companies have lots of shares and just map each one when required
giving each user eg.

p:\production
s:\sales
etc... by using the login script example you Posted earlier?

Daniel
 
Yes, Or use the same driver letter, and map for example P:\ to
\\server\prdouction if you are a member of production group ,

but are you logged in as a member of the sales group P: maps to
\\server\sales
