How to give a temporary remote user limited access to network files
Environment is windows 2003 domain.
We have need for a temporary outside user to have access to only one set of our network folders. I have created a user ID for this user.
How can I prevent them from having access to anything else including areas that can normally be accessed by "Authenticated Users".
Or perhaps, how can I remove this user from "Authenticated Users"?

Thanks I will try it.

The remote user will connect by Terminal Server.
Although, VPN is not out of the question.

Depending on the OS you are using on the file server, you could enable Access Based Enumeration. This is a feature, enabled at the volume level, that allows you to 'see' only things that you have access to. It should prevent the temp user from being able to get to those top level folders.

Although not completely resolved for me, I appreciate this info that I believe will lead to a solution that I can live with.

This sounds good but will that user now be able to RDC into our network to access the files they need?

Thanks I needed that confirmation that I could not remove a user from Auth Users.
But with the method you describe I need to deny all shares at high level and then grant access at one low level folder. Does this seem right? I don' want to risk overwriting my vast array of permissions.
