anderground Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 hi can i set group permissions on the server, which would apply to a folder that resides on a client pc ? ex: 1) permission for a user who is trying to access some folder on the local pc which he is logged on 2) .... on some other local pc in the domain in general, is there any difference in the approach if resources are on client pc's or on the server ?

sc302 Veteran Posted September 13, 2010 Veteran Share Posted September 13, 2010 no. you can set what groups get what permissions on the pc as well as the server. it can be security or it can be file/folder level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderground Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 no. you can set what groups get what permissions on the pc as well as the server. it can be security or it can be file/folder level. and how do i manage permissions on pc's resources (folders), locally or remotely on the server ? is there a centralized management of share permissions of all computers in the domain ? and also there could be a permission conflict between local admin and server admin regarding access of some local folder. i mean local admin could grant access to a group whereas the server admin could deny it (if he could, in the first place), and vice versa. which one takes precedence? (as for ntfs /security/, i suppose i cannot change ntfs permissions of the local pc's from the server.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted September 13, 2010 Veteran Share Posted September 13, 2010 pcs are done at the pc level. you could always remote into the pc's. if you are an admin of the pc, doesn't matter if local admin or server admin (both are admins of the pc) yes they can control who has access to what. this is why you don't give a user admin rights over the pc and you also don't give a user the administrator password of anything (local or domain). ntfs/share permissions are done at the server/pc/laptop/device you want to give access to. in otherwords, if I wanted to give you access to my pc I would have to be on my pc to do it. If i wanted to give you access to the server I would be on the server to do it. There is a reason you don't do shares on pc's, it is because you don't have as much control over them as you do the servers. Servers you know some dumbass isn't going to shut it down for whatever reason. Servers you know someone isn't going to muck up because they went out to a bad site on it. You don't share out pc's unless absolutely necessary. there is no reason for it. You make home drives on servers and redirect their documents and desktop to it, that way everything is backed up during your daily backup and aren't wasting time going over the network. There is a lot more to this than just setting up AD, it does require a little bit of thought and the abiltiy to have policies pushed down their throats without them knowing.

anderground Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 You don't share out pc's unless absolutely necessary. there is no reason for it. got the point thanks. you know, it takes some time to transform from workgroup to domain logic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted September 13, 2010 Veteran Share Posted September 13, 2010 got the point thanks. you know, it takes some time to transform from workgroup to domain logic :) when you are ready to setup let me know. I will help you out/remote in and do it, you can learn how not to pigeon toe yourself. I don't know what you did on your test network, but it doesn't compute properly. Really slow, and it is **** blocking you somewhere. I can go through your settings to see what they look like, it was really ugly. unless you are using a 10 base T hub (I know you aren't). or you are using home made patch cables and didn't crimp the casing into the end, leaving the wires exposed over an inch (they are already exposed about 1/2" in the end, which is all that should be exposed).
