Missing Security Tab on WIN2k Machines
Hello,
I am running a WIN2K domain.
Several of the machines are missing the security tab when I right click on a folder in their c drives.
The Machines missing the security tab are all WIN 2K so i know it isnt the WINXP "simple file sharing" issue.
some of the machines are within an OU with a group policy set to them, but there are machines in the same group that are not missing the Security tab.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
-Thanks,
-Rob

Could it be a rights issue? If the person who's logged in isn't an admin, you may not see the security folder.

the users are all part of the Power Users Group, and I am looking at their c Drives from My PC, through the admin share \\computername\c$
I have full admin rights across the entire network.

Can I ask what folders you're trying to see the security tab for?

Check your file system type - I am sure that it is fat32. You will see Security tab only in ntfs.
