We have a mandate to automate the creation of folders located on one of our NTFS shares. Our environment is Win2003. The share is our central repository for each department to store their critical data. Currently when a new folder is requested we manually create the security group (to include the users specified access to the new folder) and then manually create the folder and then add the sec. group with the appropriate permissions. Ideally we would like to implement some sort of web app (or other workable solution) that would allow department admins to create the shares themselves instead of having to wait on IT staff &nbsp;to create them. Is anyone aware of a method or tool that would accomplish this goal? Thanks for you help

3rd party tool for users to create folders and security groups within an OU

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

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).
