Deep Mapping

[Calvin Lai]

Scenario #1: Created a folder in root of D: called HOME. Share it out
as HOME. Shared permission is DOMAIN ADMINS (FC) and DOMAIN USERS
(change). NTFS permission is DOMAIN ADMINS (FC). In user account
John.Doe, home dir is \\SERVER\HOME\%username% which becomes
\\SERVER\HOME\JOHN.DOE. NTFS permission of that JOHN.DOE folder is
DOMAIN ADMINS (FC) and John.Doe (FC). John.Doe can do anything to his
home dir. Why is that? When a domain user goes thru Network
Neighborhood to go to HOME shared folder on server, he gets access
denied. Why is that?

Scenario #2: Created a folder in root of D: called HOME. Share it out
as HOME. Shared permission is DOMAIN ADMINS (FC) and DOMAIN USERS
(read). NTFS permission is DOMAIN ADMINS (FC). In user account
John.Doe, home dir is \\SERVER\HOME\%username% which becomes
\\SERVER\HOME\JOHN.DOE. NTFS permission of that JOHN.DOE folder
is...I forgot. When John.Doe goes into into the drive mapping that's
mapped to his home dir, he gets access denied. Why is that?

 

[David H. Lipman]

Instead of...
\\SERVER\HOME\%username%

Create a hidden share for each user. For example; user is 'lipman'. Create hidden share
lipman$ pointing to \\SERVER\HOME\lipman
The map drive such as; net use p: \\SERVER\lipman$
