access to Home folders Windows Server 2008 R2
Hello Experts,
We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 in our organization. We have a couple of supervisors that need to access their subordinates home folders. We ideally would like to manually setup a drive mapping to list Home folders the supervisor has access to, for example, : I:\\server\Home\Division\u
We gave the supervisor explicit rights to each subordinates Home folder. They can path to the folder and we can create a desktop shortcut. However, they would prefer a drive mapping like we had when we were on Novell. We tried setting a combination of special permissions in AD but haven’t had much luck. We are trying to set the permissions at “Division “ level
Ideally we would like to manually map a drive and list only the folders the supervisor has read/write access to in the Home Folders. Any method you can recommend? Any advice you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jose

You will see all folders as listed even the ones the supervisor does not have access to.
List folder contents will need to be this folder only.

Right. I believe we did run into that. Our management would prefer the supervisors not see the folders they do not have access to.

Add this at the root of the Share and then assign List folder contents to that group.
