High School Computer Lab Network set up to prevent cheating

Rollinsm3 — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 18:10:35 +0000

I am trying to set up the network in my classroom to prevent students from stealing, renaming, deleting, etc. other students’ work on the shared folder. Before the teacher’s computer died, I was able to set up the permissions as write only, but the smart student could still rename someone’s file if it stayed in the shared folder. Now that my computer is back, I no longer have the option to set permissions. I have asked for a digital drop box, but the only program that we could use for that is moodle– free, a pain in the neck, and no instructions. Any suggestions? I know that you can protect documents in Word so that no one else can make changes, but we use many other programs other than Word. Please help!!

Can I Create Network Shared Folder Access Based On Computer Group Membership?

Noob to AD here, trying to solve a problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[strong]Can you assign access to a network shared folder based on a computer’s group membership?[/strong]

I originally created a script that assigns a shared network folder (Drive S) according to user group membership, BUT some users work in different departments and each of those depts have their own specific shared folder. Besides the conflict of using the same drive letter for different shared folders (Drive S), I only want the users to see the shared folder (Drive S) used by that particular dept.

So, I tried assigning share folder permissions based on COMPUTER rather than USER membeship to a group (the logic being the script would apply only to computers belonging to a specific group and all users logging on to that computer would only pickup the relevant shared folder, and not every other shared folder the user has access to) but I can’t get it to work.

Currently running a Win 2003 server for dc and client pc’s are win 2k and win xp. Users just recently migrated from vt terminals to pc and have very limited knowledge/experience using pc’s. I want to keep it simple for the users; so, I’ve decided to assign Drive S for all network shared folders.

I sincerely apologize if the answer turns out to be a simple one, but I’m new to this and even after extensive research, have hit a wall. Many thanks to all.

Vista error accessing network drive

PPitcher — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:12:39 +0000

I have a very strange problem. It concerns accessing network shares. Here is my scenario :

A user on a Vista PC opens a shortcut to a network share that they have permission to access. On the file server we receive a failure audit error in the Security log (event id 560) to say the user has tried to access a different share that they DO NOT have permission to access.

When this user tries to access the same share on an XP client, the error does not appear.

When another user, who has identical user rights, accesses the same network share on the same client PC, we do not receive the failure audit.

Why are we getting these misleading errors ?
