How to create a hand-in folder, and map it as a network drive: Windows XP and Windows Server 2007 domain.

Asked by Jason210 in Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, Windows XP Operating System, Miscellaneous Security

I want to create a folder on the file server that will serve as a hand-in folder, available to a paricular user group. The user group may have permissions to write data to the folder, but nothing else. They should not be able to change, view or delete existing data. This is to protect the privacy of work already handed in, and also to protect it from accidental overwrite or deletion. This is for students.

Another group, teachers, should have read write access to the folder, but not be able to delete the folder itself.

To create such a folder locally, is simple enough, but to create one on a file server and then map it via a log on script seems impossible. As a work around I tried placing a hand-in folder inside an already shared folder, but also encountered problems which preventing that from working correctly.

Please only answer this question if you have a working, tested solution. I have had many well meant suggestions that "might work" but so far none of them have worked. I cannot waste any more time trying out ideas. I need a concrete solution, even if it's "It can't be done".
