How can I stop users searching network drives?

RickC — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 10:01:23 +0000

We have a number of mapped network drives and one of them is l linux mapped drive. When users search they tend to search all drives. When the Linux drive is searched it slows the linux server down for all users. How can I prevent them from searching a drive letter?

I found this but is only for windows desktop search 4, does anyone know of an ADM template configured for this that I can import in to active directory?

Mysterious permissions issue on Win2k3 server

Britinga — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:26:50 +0000

The setting: small high school computer lab; new server with Win Server 2003 installed; it is a member of the domain; I log into it using domain admin credentials. So far no problem. I download an exe or bat file onto the desktop (or anywhere on the drive). I check properties of the file. Security – admin has full control. But when I try to run the executable I get a message “Windows cannot access the specified device..you may not have the appropriate permissions.” I have tried several different files, both on the desktop and in folders at the root of the C drive. Same message. BUT…if I copy the file to a flash drive and run from there, it will work without complaint.
Any ideas what’s going on? It’s driving me crazy!

Windows Server can’t see who has share in use

Wimble — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 17:57:39 +0000

I have a server running Windows 2003 standard with a folder that is being shared. On this share I have limited the User Limit to one user. I have done this by going to the properties of the share, under the general tab, User Limit section, Allow this number of users: and set to 1. When I have someone map a drive to this folder it uses that one access point and blocks all others from access it. Problem is, that as long as they don’t open any files, I can’t find a way to see what user has that share in use. The only time I can see who is in the share is by seeing them having file open. One other item worthy of mentioning is that I have also accessed this share through a DFS path as well. Doesn’t seem to matter which way you access it, I still can’t see who has the share in use when they don’t have any files open. Does anyone have a Windows command to see this?
