One point on the above: Make sure you aren't already redirecting users home folders and what not. Maybe through a script, or an entry in the same location already does this. Other than that, it would work.<br />
Setting the perms on a per file basis would be impractical, short of scripting.

agree (good point) typically I dont like scripting mapping cause the permissions can get a bit bizarre :)

Hi,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;I have a domain setup with the majority of clients in the User group. They as a group need access to certain files and folders on the server. However, I would like to restrict access to their personal files so only the user and admins can see their data. For example, John needs to see company files, but only John would be able to see Johns documents. <br />
<br />
Is there a way to do this? or do I have to setup each user in their own group and go from there? Sees like a long and tedious process...any way to make this easy?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
Tom

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
