Greeting everyone! I am hoping someone in this forum may be able to assist with my file sharing setup... How can I get this accompish: FolderA - I have everyone with read only and admins as full control in "Share Permission" under the share tab. This works for me as I do not require users to create folders below this folder. I have sub folders called: -SubFolderA - I would like for all users to be able to create files and folders in SubFolderA -Users - User can only access thier personal folder within this subfolder. I have all the above setup as follows: FolderA - Share permissions ; Admins F\C & everyone R SubFolderA - on the security tab, I have removed all groups and given F/C to admins and Modify to SubFolderA group Users - Admins F/C and users F/C of their own user folder. Issue here is that, users aren't able to create files and folder with this setup unless if I set FolderA share permission to modify for everyone. How can I accomplish this given the above details. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Hamid

Hi, I am trying to set up folder redirection of the documents folder for all users. Now im sure that if i have \\servername\share\%username% as the home folder path and set up documents redirection i will end up will all the folders being renamed as Documents. One of the things Microsoft recommends is to create all home folders like the following \\servername\share\%username%\Documents which would work fine but when i put that into the profile settings for each user then it complains that it cant find the file path. Ad will create the file path if the location ends with the %username% but apparently not when you add another folder like 'Documents' after it. Short of crating something that creates the file path first, is there anyway i can do this? Thanks Mik

Hi All, I need some advice on what to do with a Windows Server Standard FE server as I don't have experience of it. The server is the domain controller, exchange 2007 server and it has file shares on it as well. Not only this but it has been virtualised on ESXi 4.0 due to the physical server giving up a few years ago. This was all done well before my time at the company. I just need some advice on how to sort this out. Can i create another DC and then demote this one? I think i read somewhere that it won't allow another DC or was this SBS server?? Can I leave exchange 2007 running on the server or now that it is virtualised, does it mean the Windows server license is now invalid? I'm assuming migrating the file shares is just like 2008 standard? I'm trying to establish a plan to tell my boss as he feels this server needs addressing. I hope someone out there can help me. Regards Dave

I was going to implement the Quotas on this resource at the last summer holidays but did not because of various reasons. However, I would like to restrict the size of files users can save to a 'share' and have looked in the File Screening and Quotas but can't seem to find a way to implement this - I can restrict the file types but this is not really what I want to do. Anyone else tried to do this?
