Permissions

I have one external TeraStation which is used to backup things on my network. It is setup on the Domain and managed by Active Directory. How can I prevent users registered on our domain from accessing this external TeraServer on the network?

Goto the Terastation instance in AD users n computers, It should be in domain controllers class.

Right click goto properties- security

There you can manage users who can read/write/none permission to the terastation.

This should work.

That controls read/write permission to the account object in Active Directory. It has no effect on TeraServer as a network device.

Does the TeraServer have any local firewall capabilities?

What kind of access are you trying to prevent?

Chris,

Our TeraServer does not have any local firewall capabilities. This TeraServer was once used as Network Storage Device but now it holds our backup data so I do not want any/everyone to have access to this informatioin. The only people I would like to have access is our Domain Administrators.

I went to the location referenced above and the only group listed under our TeraServer Properties/Member of is "Domain Computers". I added the "Administrators Group" to this list and tried to remove the "Domain Computers Group" but when I tried this, I receive an error message stating that In order to remove the "Domain Computers Group" I would first need to set the "Administrators Group" as the Primary Group, which is greyed out and not an option for me to do.

I know this should not be rocket science here but for the life of me, I am not able to figure this one out...........lol

Thanks,

JRP
