Granting folder permissions to a local folder on c drive through domain sbs 2003
I have a SBS 2003 server with XP pro machines connecting to it. I am running a domain and would like to know if it is possible set permissions for a folder on a local drive on the XP machine? For example: I was all users in the domain to be able to have write access to the C:\work folder. Right now it seems like the domain users group can't write to the c: because the group is restricted. Any ideas how you would do that?

No, it is not a share. I can right click on the folder when I am at the machine and change security settings for that folder. I am just trying to figure out how to do it through group policy instead having to go to all 40 computers on my network.
The local group on the XP workstation should have users with at least read to folders.
The local users group membership should be reviewed. The group may contain "domain users group".
Don't have a dc available now, I'll look in the AM.

If you want your domain users write to the folder, you just need to share that folder and grant Domain User R/W... access accordingly. On the users' perspective, they only need to map or browse to the folder, example: \\servername\folder to be able to write to it. You shouldn't have to worry about C:

Thanks,
That is exactly what I needed.

Share would have Authenticated User with change and folder permissions with users with modify.
Wouldn't want to give all users access the root of C.
