hiding/disable security tab on Win2K servers

[arameth]

Hi,

I need to disable the security tab for files and folders,
so that users cannot browse (or potentially change)
permissions on folders.

The only thing I've been able to find on this is Q303153,
but it appears to only be specific to Win2k Professional,
and not server?

I tried the steps presented there, and it didn't seem to
work in my test setup.

Does anyone have another way to remove or disable the
security tab on files and folders, preferably using AD
group policies? Or, if I could disable the "properties"
selection on the right click menu for files and folders,
this would work as well.

Thanks in advance.

See the following link about changing permissions on the Rshx32.dll file. The KB is
about NT4.0, but I did try it once and it did work. You can use Group Policy to
propagate ntfs permissions for specific computers. --- Steve

Steve,

This looks very promising. I will test this out right
away, and let you know how it works.

Oddly enough, it seems there is a feature that allows one
to do this very easily under Windows Server 2003
