asked on
protected and limited access to server
Hi,
Server win2K
Client win2K
Server has shared C:
When client needs to access I do
start > run > \\ [server-ip] \c
at this point an network access window opens where I type the userid and password
and the server window is opened, letting me navigate all directories.
When I close the window, and later try to get back on the server, the window opens w/o asking for the userid and password.
Question:
How can I have it ask for the id and password each and everytime I try to connect to server?
Alternatively, can I password protect the server from the server letting access to only one folder and its subfolders?
Bonus question (40)
Why is it that another client with win2K doesn't ask for id and password, when accessing the server, even the first time?
Thank you

You are talking to an ignorant.
>> Create a profile batch file and apply to each user (as needed) in Active Directory on the W2k sever.
Where is the active directory, and how do I create the batch?
That should give you my level of competence ;)
@ giltjr
1) I'll try that
2) didn't understand a single word ;(
Anyway don't worry, perhaps as suggested by irwinpks I'll open a new thread.

To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
In addition to investing in one of the books that irwinpks has suggested I would also suggest that you talk to your Windows system admins.
If there are no admins and you are trying to admin this your self. Get a book know. If you don't know what a domain is, you are truly lost and should be reading something to get a baisc idea of what a Windows domain is, what Active Directory is, what a work group is, what a local logon is vs. a domain logon, what trusted domains are.

Thank you.
alright points for the new year
When the user logs in, the batch file will execute. When the user has completed their session, they will logout, thus forcing them to enter their username & password.
Alternatively, can I password protect the server from the server letting access to only one folder and its subfolders?
- YES
The BONUS question should be a separate thread, and you need to provide more detail on that machine in question along with the other systems that do require authentication.
