How to setup a Windows File Server Share with Security Permissions

Learn how to setup a Windows file share on Windows Server. In this example, I show you how to create a folder, share the folder to everyone within an Active Directory Domain, and mange the user permissions to the folders using AD security groups, and the map the new shared folder using a mapped drive group policy.

Thank you so much for such informational video. I am able to implement exact same thing that you described in this video. The only bizarre thing is that Users are only able to see the drives they have permission to. E.g. HR folder is only visible to sf-hr users, tech is visible to only sf-tech users and same with accounts. How can I get the permissions to be applied in such a way that users can see all the folders but can only access the ones which they have access to. Your reply would be really appreciated. Thanks again!

How can we possibly make that only the shared folders are seen by the specific users rather than all the shared folders(including those with restricted acces) ? I tried with access-based enumeration but sadly nothing changes.

Is there a way to modify individual permissions in a group? For example, if you have a group of 5 people under one group (John, Mary, George, Alex, Sam) there doesn't seem to be a way to edit just Alex but rather whatever changes you make applies to all 5 people. Thanks.

Hi! Good explanation! I have a question to clarify, you set the special permission to a groups unticking delete, chown and tkown to denny users to could do these actions? I have this problem on a fileserver, everytime i check users files properties 😮‍💨🤦... the owner is the user and not the group as you set... sorry about my english, regards from Argentina 😉👋

[anorguli]

thanx for the video. When I trying to change owner on a folder to security group i have an error message "its impossible to assign this object type as owner. " Any user can be assigned without a problem, but not a security group. Do you have idea why?

With a Quickbooks share would you leave the "QBDataServiceUser"s that are automatically generated?

[aolish]

I have another question which is an auto map question, is there a way to add a user to a security group that is not in the same OU? For some reason I am only able to add a user in the same security group that is in the same OU, but if its a different OU the drive will not auto map. Any help is appreciated.

[NishfaanNaseer]

how do you have hostname ip and other information showed up on the wallpaper there? can share the gp or script to do that?

[eavenhuang]

I set up the permissions but I'm facing an issue that the logged in user has to be the AD account who has permission to a specific shared folder. When I logged in to Windows as a local PC account, still the same PC, same network same IP address being obtained, even I used the option of different credentials to connect, I typed the AD user's credentials, It always failed to access the shared folders. Any idea?
