Limit users of accessing local drives

Hello,
I have some specific question, also I'm not sure that this is right forum.
I have implemented AD infrastructure in my company.
Every user has his own workstation.
They use their D partition as backup storage. And that partition need to be locked for specific user that is
responsible for his workstation. So only user of workstation and domain administrator can see data on partition.
If John Doe is owner of Workstation, only he and domain admin can access data, if someone other log to this workstation (with other credentials from domain) he can't see data that's belong to John Doe.
It's looking nice and easy, but there is 2 tricky parts:
It's need to go thru GPO, because of number of workstations
On several workstations, there are 2 users, and they need to have 2 directories/folders for each one.
I hope that someone understand this mumbling. :)

Hi,
Apologize for my unclear reply, regarding to the filter option, it is not included inside the policy entry, it is used on an GPO as the snapshot below:
I have created a "test" GPO, then in the "Security Filterring"option, you can add the user\group as you want to allow or deny the permission to apply the GPO, by default, it has "Authenticated users", which means that all users
who have logged in with a username and password has permissions to apply the GPO.

  • Problem accessing hard drive for more than one user at the same time

    Hello all,
    I recently bought a 2nd generation AirPort Extreeme 802.11n to replace a cheapo wireless router. The main reason I wanted to get the AirPort was so I could attach a USB hard drive which holds iTunes music files Originaly I had a G4 MDD and this was a second internal hard drive. Since my wife and son also share my Mac, we stored the iTunes music folder there, so we could all access the files. That worked fine.
    Then I got a early 2009 iMac and gave my wife the G4. My son also has a G3 iBook, using the wireless internet conection. At first I had the drive in an external case attached via Firewire. Both my iMac and my wife's G4 are attached to the network using ethernet, not wireless. She was able to access the music files so long as my Mac was on, but the connection was flaky.
    So as mentioned, I picked up a used AirPort Extreme from OWC, mainly to attach the hard drive, since it's no longer in my Mac. It took some fiddling, and I was honestly surpsied that the APE was trickier to set up than expected, but now I have the external drive mounting, and we can all access the files from any of the Macs in the house. It works great except for one thing. If I'm logged into my iMac, and then another family member logs in on the same iMac, we don't all have access to the hard drive. It's still mounted, but the you have no permission to view the files on it.
    Then if I remount it, I can access the files, but now the other user can't.
    So in a nutshell, only one user can access the drive at the same time from the iMac, but we can all access it from different Macs.
    Anyone have an idea of why this is happening and how to remidy it?

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Saving Opened attachments in a secure environment (no local drive access)

    We are evaluating Windows 7 and Office 2010 in a secure environment and have a strange issue when saving opened Office attachments from Outlook 2010.
    If an Office (Word, Excel or Powerpoint) file is opened from a received email within Outlook 2010 and a user then attempts to save, they are presented with a restriction error message as below:
    This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.
    Upon clicking OK, they are then presented with a Save As dialogue box in the correct location (i.e. their redirected Home Drive location on a network share).
    We block any access to the C:\ drive (or any local drives other than the optical drive) and the users have a roaming non-cached profile.
    The OutlookSecureTempFolder value in the registry is C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\RANDOMSTRING\
    I tried altering this to a network location which I knew the user would have write access over, but Outlook just overwrote my custom value with a new one of its own.
    I ran ProcMon and determined that the machine is getting ACCESS_DENIED when trying to create files in that location.
    Any ideas?

    I've the same problem too.
    to have more than one approuved locations displayed, you have to enable this policy too:
    Places Bar Locations
    the office 2010 GPO.
    Specify the same locations you have approuved in the other GPO
    click User
    Configuration, click Administrative
    Templates, click Microsoft
    Office 2010, double-click File
    Open/Save dialog box, and then click Places
    Bar Locations.
    Problem solved for me.
    Thanks to all of you. I've spend a lot of time on this problem. 

  • Recent computer crash but saved data of harddrive that is now local drive in new PC. How do I access my saved itunes library in what is now a local drive? and

    Recently had a PC crash. All data and information on hard drive was saved and reinstalled in new PC as a local drive. How do I access the saved music library that exsists onwhat is now a local drive in the new PC. My itunes account only shows purchased songs. I know my saved library is here, but I can't figure out how to access and get the saved library on itunes. 

    Locate the iTunes folder from the user profile on the rescued drive, typically at X:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes. Delete the "empty" iTunes library from your current User's Music folder and copy in the originial library in its place.

  • How to prevent user from saving file on local drives

    Hi,
       We have a file server set up on a Windows 2003 Server. Is there any way to restrict users so that they can only open and view the file but they can't save it on their local drives? If not, can this be done with Windows 2008 or 2012 or any Linux
    server or any document management software?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    If you can open the file from a client then generally there is not much you can do to prevent them saving it locally. Unless you restrict the clients access to save anything at all on their local hard drive which depending of the security requirements of
    the data you are accessing could be a valid option.
    Depending how critical / sensitive that information you could look at alternate method of accessing that file. In my experience securing important / secret data comes down to access procedures just as much if not more than technical solutions.
    Maybe restrict access to that file to a handful of trusted users who can then inform the "untrusted" users of any information they need.
    Like I say this is a procedural issue as much as anything else.

  • Users losing the ability to access mapped drives or browse to file shares

    I have Server 2008 with Service Pack 2....32bit.  I have about 75 - 100 users that connect to it for file access and print.  For some reason during random parts of the day users will lose the ability to access their drive mappings.  They
    are also unable to browse to any of the volumes.  This starts out with just a few users then affects everyone within minutes.  Although you can ping and access the server through RDP just fine.  After a reboot of the server everything is fine. 
    This is happening 2 to 3 times per week.  There is nothing in the event logs that explain this.  ANY suggestions will be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    such behavior can be caused by inresponsible disks or by issues with the network connection.
    Is Windows Explorer locally on the server still capable to access the physical volume hosting the shares?
    Are there processes like volume snapshots or DFS replication causing high load?
    How current are the network interface drivers on both the clients and the server?
    If upgraded drivers do not help, you can try to disable the various TCP Offloads in the network adapter properties as well as TCP Chimney.
    Also the network switch could play a role.
    Best greetings

  • Automatically Upload Pictures from Sharepoint local drive to SharePoint User Profile store using C#

    I have 10,000 image files(profile pictures) stored at location C:\ProfilePic\ folder. The Local Drive(C:\ProfilePic\)
    is in the same machine where SharePoint Server is installed.
    Image Files are as below.
    DomainName_UserID1.jpg,
    DomainName_UserID2.jpg,
    DomainName_UserID3.jpg  etc.
    I need to upload these images to the SharePoint UserProfile Store for respective users.
    Is that possible to write a console application that can query through the pictures saved in the
    C:\ProfilePic\ folder, and then upload the Pictures directly from Local Drive to User Profile Store.
    The code will do something like below:
    Foreach(Images
     saved in C:\ProfilePicFolder)
    string DomainName=Images.split(‘_’)[0];
    string UserID=Images.split(‘_’)[1];
    string AccountName=DomainName+”\”+UserID;
    SPServiceContext context=ServiceContext.GetContext(site);
    UserprofileManager upm=new UserProfileManager(context);
    UserProfile up=upm.GetUserProfile(AccountName);
    up[“ImageUrl”].Value=Images from C:\ProfilePic Folder ;
    up.Commit();

    Yes, you can. Did you check these posts?

  • URGENT!Can I user a THIN jdbc driver to access a CLOB field from oracle 8.0.5 DB?

    URGENT!Can I user a THIN jdbc driver to access a CLOB field from oracle 8.0.5 DB?

    I think you'd need to contact Oracle support to get access to older versions of the driver.
    Since 8.0.5 isn't supported any longer, however, is it possible for you to update your Oracle client to one of the supported releases-- 8.1.7 or 9i?

  • If remote access is allowed on the server, Then can my users on the local network access this server by ie

    Dear all,
    If my server is enabled for the remote desktop connection, then the users on the local network can access my server IIS services by entering the IP address of my server in the IE (http/https) on the local network only.
    I went to control panel>>system>>Allow Remote desktop Connection>>with network level authentication.
    Now If my team wants to access this server not by opening the Remote Desktop Connection, rather by entering the IP address of my server on the IE and access the resources offered.
    Is it possible by this way,
    Or is there any other method to do so.
    Regards,
    Ahmed

    3. My web Developer is installing an application on the server for our department team. To test this application running, he wants to access this application through the local machine from browser (rather than logging in through the remote desktop connection).
    4. He wants this application to run on the local network only.
    5. He wants me to do some setup, that he must be able to enter the IP address of the server in the browsers address bar on his local machine and test the functionality of his application on the local network.
    If this is the requirements of the developer, I guess he wants you to configure IIS.
    You can do a test, whether IIS is working properly.
    Log on to server, enter https://localhost or http://IP_address_of_the_server don't know whether some ports are configured in order for your IIS to work.

  • Unknown User/Incorrect Password when trying to access external drive

    I just set up my airport extreme base station, plugged in USB hub with two printers, and all worked excellent. Then I hooked up an external hard drive, again no problems at all. I was able to access the hard drive on my MacBook Pro with the password I set up and everything was great. When I try to access the hard drive on my windows computer, I keep getting a message saying "unknown user, incorrect password, contact administrator" I am using the same password I used on my MacBook. The drive was formatted in Fat32 and works on my MacBook and on my windows PC when connected directly via USB. The only problem seems to be when I try to access the drive on the windows PC. The drive shows up no problem and the dialogue box opens and asks for the password, but then I keep getting that error message. I contacted apple tech support and they pretty much told me they have nothing to do with windows, even though the product can by run entirely on windows machines with no macs at all. Has anyone else had any problems like this, or have any clue what I might be able to do???
    Thanks

    Will windows recognize a drive formatted in Mac OS
    Extended? I had originally tried that, and my
    windows pc wouldnt even recognize it.
    Well XP/Vista will not play nice with it unless you buy and install a Windows shareware/boxware program called MacDrive. This way you can make that PC read/write a Mac OS X Extended formatted drive. Bonus is you can use that drive for a central iTunes Library that both machines can use.

  • Oracle App Server limit user access

    Hi guys!
    Is there such function in OAS where I can limit a users access to a certain page?
    I have registered my users in OID and I want to set limits to specific pages (limiting which user can access which page or not)...
    Appreciate any help..

    They are different. Oracle Application Server is Oracle's application server prior to the BEA acquisition. WebLogic Server is a completely separate product and will be the strategic application server going forward at Oracle, although Oracle Application Server will still be maintained and supported.

  • Unable to gain access to my local drive Q.

    One of my local drives named Q, will not let me gain access to it, so I can delete it, because it's empty! It keeps stating "Q:\ is not accessible. access is denied" and I am the computer administrator! Please help.

    You described it as a local drive. Unless there are two drives installed, it is likely to be a special partition, and not a drive. If you play around with it you will lose the ability to perfprm a recovery after powering on your notebook. 
    Please identify your notebook.
    Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a printed part number and a product name.

  • Local drive(OSX) in bootcamp windows can't be accessed

    I installed bootcamp windows succesfully and have been using it without a problem for like a month.
    I know that files in the OSX drive can bee seen in the Local drive E (in windows) but can't be accessed since they have different format
    I installed HFS+ on my windows and it work without problem.
    But today in windows i wanted to find some of my files in Local drive (osx) but when i clicked the drive it said that I can't open it and it want to be formatted
    I don't know what to do.. is it because of the HFS+ but I didn't find any problem after installing it
    I can view my windows file via bootcamp in OSX however
    Pleas help

    If you have the driver properly installed, you should be able to read the files on the HFS+ partition.  I know that I use the Paragon driver for HFS+ for Windows which gives me full read/write access to the partitions from my Windows 7 machines.
