Certainly! When managing server folders and security in Windows Server 2016, there are several important steps to consider:
Share Permissions and NTFS Permissions:
- Windows Server 2016 has two independent types of permissions:
- Share Permissions: Apply when accessing a share over the network. They work alongside NTFS permissions.
- NTFS Permissions: Determine access to folders and files locally (when sitting at the computer storing the files).
- Windows Server 2016 has two independent types of permissions:
Sharing Folders:
- Create a folder (e.g., “Shares”) where you want to share files.
- Set the Share Permissions (usually to “Everyone”) for this folder.
- Focus on managing access using NTFS Permissions.
NTFS Permissions Configuration:
- Disable inherited permissions for subfolders within the share.
- Edit NTFS Permissions as needed:
- Remove or add groups/users.
- Set appropriate permission levels (e.g., full control, modify, read, write).
- Use deny to override inherited or cumulative permissions.
Mapping at Login:
- Create a Group Policy Object (GPO) to map the share at login.
- Configure drive mappings under User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Drive Maps.
Remember to customize these steps based on your organization’s needs. If you have specific questions during the process, feel free to ask! 😊🚀
