I'm new to server support; spending most of my time in desktop support.
I've been given a request to add read-only access to a list of subfolders on a Windows 2003 Server. Rather than adding the user into the security tab of each folder, is there a wizard or script I could use where I specify: user/folder/permissions, and click OK?
This would save a lot of time.
Go to Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Manage your server
Second Tab: File Server
Add Shared Folders -> Next -> Assign Folder Path -> Share Name as you want, Description -> Choose Permissions as your required OR fourth Option Use Custom share and folder permission -> Finish.
