So we have a share server that our faculty use to share files (obviously). Well one group in Active Directory have permissions to different folders - DataManagement and DataAnalysis. The server only shows the files and folders on the D: drive, where the Data Management and Data Analysis folders are. One of the faculty accidentally moved the Data Management folder into the Data Analysis folder. I need to figure out how this can be kept from happening. Thanks The Fox

Hi On the folder properties, in the security tab click on advanced button. Now select the group and check for list of security settings. Uncheck the permissions for "delete" and "delete folders and subfolders". This will help them not to move them. But however they can copy them to other places.

Hi i think you can change the security permission remove ownership and uncheck delete folders and subfolders. you can also setup group policy in auditing . that should sove problem. you can identify who is moving files and deleting files as well. thanksNaeem Bhatti MCITP EA, MCITP, MCTS Exchange 2007 MCSE security,MCSE AD, MCSE in Messaging, MCDST SBS2003 and SBS2008 Specialist
