got it running between 3 seperate school sites over VPNs mostly ok tho odd glitches, say when a vpn goes down and then reconnects DFS re-written in 2003R2, will be investigating

mmm...thanks i will run some tests again tommorow.... :?

I've set up shadow volume copy and it's working fine I also want to set up previous versions of users "my documents" currently in a profile$ hidden share. however as it's hidden it doesen't seem to work... anyone any ideas?

i used a template from here http://www.projectseven.com/ for our school site http://www.chelseachildrenshospitalschool.org/ tho it badly needs a redesign want to make it WC3 compliant and incoporate some form of CMS...

We've been using trouble ticket at http://www.troubleticketexpress.com/ it's great, flexible enough to be useful but not so complicated to scare users off tho at present it's mostly used for myself and 2 other techs

Thanks for the quick responses! I'll give the "allow deletion of folders but not files" a go Shadow copy seems a good safety net too

I am trying to set up "deny delete" on the children's work area Within the fixed folder structure of our school share there is an area for children to save their work. Currently we use generic logins for pupils as sometimes they're with us for only a few days. I trying to set it so within the childrens work area, pupils can create and name a folder and then save their work in it, but they are then not able to delete either the folder or anything inside. I've tried setting Deny Delete permissions but although this allows them to create a folder and then not able to delete it, they can't rename it, ie it stays as "new folder". Any ideas much appreciated!
