Windows Server 2008 - password protect network folders
I was tasked to password protect a few folders that are being shared in the network. The folders are stored in the server (that i have admin access) and anyone in the network have full access to the folders and the files inside those folders. The computers linked in the network have different OS - 3 running vista, 2 running xp and 1 windows server 2008. Anybody in the office can use the computers without being prompted for a password (except the server) and the folders are accessible through any of those computers.
The following are my questions:
1. Is it possible to password protect folders shared in the network? If so, if someone wants to access those password protected folder through any of the computers connected to the network, will they be prompted to enter a password to be able to access it or the system will just say "access denied?" If so, please give detailed instructions on how to do it.
2. If it is possible to password protect network folders, is it possible to put different passwords on each folders? If so please give detailed instructions on how to do it.
3. If it is not possible to do any of the mentioned above through windows, is it possible with the use of a third-party software? If so, what are those third party software?
Hi All, First time on this forum and am finding it very interesting (sorry about the proposed as answer above.. hit the wrong key).
I found this topic particularly interesting and am looking to do a similar thing but seemed to have gotten around it quite easily (if I am on the same lines as greggync777 that is).
My problem is this I have a Home Theatre Network set up in my lounge to several locations around the house with around 8 gb of videos/music/pics etc, all works fine on connected pc's with WMC (all using Windows 7) and all is shared by family for entertainment.
I also have a Seperate workstation where I do my work (video editing) which involves storing considerable amounts of footage and more importantly all the work files/folders all of which is confidential, at the moment is also on a seperate pc which also houses 8 hdd with around 6gb of ever growing video information.
My point is that both these PC's ( HTPC and my WORKSTATION) are a bit too noisy despite having installed the best I can afford fans/Samsung eco green hdd's. My desire is to build a main super server running WHS 2008 (The size/Cooling/Noise etc is not a problem due to where it will be located). My main concern is Security with so many in the family having direct access to the Server so I want to restrict which files/folders they can subsequently access once there. I want to be the only one to have access to my work from my PC and everyone else denied access. I have set up a test rig running WHS08 and have set up access with several PC's using passwords for the server etc which was straightforward after creating a user account for them on whs08, therein laid the problem of then how to keep them from accessing my side of the server which is when I hit up on this thread after much searching. Following one of the suggestions above I went to the folder in question (in my case this will be a plus as all my work will be in one main folder with several thousand sub folders) to the security tab/permissions etc and firstly removed access to everyone except the server administrator. I then granted access only to one PC on the network - the one that is my workstation together with a password ( I meant to say upto this point everyone I had given access to the server could access my test folder), went back to my PC and was able to access as normal after entering the password. I then went to every other PC on the network (that has access to the Server) where I am pleased to say all denied me access to my folder. (my work pc by the way is running XPsp3). Not sure if it will work for Greggync777 or if it what he is looking to do but it did for me. I apologise also if I have rambled on a bit for my first thread.
tks Dave

Windows Server 2008 R2 display "Network drives disconnect" with a red X
I wrote a script for using Group Policy to achieve a function where navigate to "Comupter Configuration"--"Windows Settings"--"Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)"--"Startup", then i put the script what is
for "network mapping" things into "Scripts", then i restart the target machines for updating policy, but it showed that there is a "red X" even though i can open this network path. how could the "red X" disappear?Hi,
Thanks for your feedback.
Based on your description, I am not sure if it is due to the script. Maybe you can ask in the
MSDN forum to make sure that the script is correct.
In addition, I also suggest creating the mapped driver via Group Policy Preferences. For more detailed information, please refer to the links below:

"Network Error - 53" while trying to mount NFS share in Windows Server 2008 client
CentOS | Windows 2008
I've got a CentOS 5.5 server running nfsd. On the Windows side, I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. I have the "Files Services" server role enabled and both Client for NFS and Server for NFS are on.
I'm able to successfully connect/mount to the CentOS NFS share from other linux systems but am experiencing errors connecting to it from Windows. When I try to connect, I get the following:
C:\Users\fooadmin>mount -o anon 10.10.10.10:/share/ z:
Network Error - 53
Type 'NET HELPMSG 53' for more information.
(IP and share name have been changed to protect the innocent :-) )
Additional information:
I've verified low-level network connectivity between the Windows client and the NFS server with telnet (to the NFS on TCP/2049) so I know the port is open. I've further confirmed that inbound and outbound firewall ports are present and enabled.
I came across a
Microsoft tech note that suggested changing the "Provider Order" so "NFS Network" is above other items like Microsoft Windows Network. I changed this and restarted the NFS client - no luck.
I've confirmed that the share folder on the NFS server is readable/writable by all (777)
I've tried other variations of the mount command like: mount 10.10.10.10:/share/ z: and
mount 10.10.10.10:/share z: and mount -o anon mtype=hard \\10.10.10.10:/share * No luck.
As per the command output, I tried typing NET HELPMSG 53 but that doesn't tell me much. Just "The network path was not found".
I'm lost on how to proceed with troubleshooting. Any ideas?There are usully two aspect that come to mind:
1. Syntax of mount command
2. Mismatch of NFS versions
Third reason is here

Folders Mysteriously Disappear in Windows Server 2008 R2
Hi,
I have this obscure issue with newly created shared or unshared folders disappearing in Windows Server 2008. I know that folders are still there because I can go into DOS mode and locate the folders. Even in DOS mode, I cannot see the folders by typing the
"dir" command. I have to type "cd" and then name of the folder to be able to access them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
AliPlease check if there is an autorun.inf file in the folder. Try to delete it in Explorer or command line if it exists.
Also try "Attrib -H -S <foldername>" to see if helps.

Dear All,
We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.> * explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the

You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

A few months ago I set up some redirected folders on a clients Windows Small Busines Server 2008. I recall that setting up the redirected folders was straightforward, but when I edited the permissions to allow administrative access to these server located
folders, all hell broke lose. The permissions change seemed to trash the folders. I think I managed to 'bodge' it for a couple of users and got it working, but it was such a headache I didn't bother doing it for the other users.
Now, I sit in front of a brand-spanking-new Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard box which is going to be installed with a new client within 48 hours. I would like to set up redirected folders and would like to grant admin rights on these folders so I can view
their contents directly from the server.
It seems to me that there is no offical Microsoft documentation which relates specifically to doing this on Windows Server 2008. Given the amount of problems this has caused for many admins, I am astounded.
Somewhere there are articles which describe how to do it on 2003, but this procedure does not work well in 2008.
There is an SBS article that admits permissions can be trashed, but this is no help on Standard edition:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2010/10/08/folder-redirection-in-small-business-server-2008.aspx
I have just posted a note on this rather long article:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-GB/smallbusinessserver/thread/70fa7f0e-7f2c-4f00-8401-42d262d80cd6
So, my question, hopefully to Microsoft employee, please can you document
exactly how to grant admin rights to users redirected folders on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, and please could you do it today :-)
In the absence of this help, then I'm afraid this is yet another great but badly implemented feature that we will not be using.

NO IT DOESN'T!
Did you bother to read the original question?
Quote "So, my question, hopefully to Microsoft employee, please can you document exactly how

So, Micro$haft, Why did you give instructions to Server 2003?
... When the requester SPECIFICALLY stated: "Somewhere

File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks on Windows server 2008
Hi Expert,
I found that the properties of File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks service disabled after I install the windows server 2008 64bits. I tried to install that service via adding the file and printer sharing services in the properties of local area connection, but it doesn't contain any service in the popup box. Also, no such service file available in the disk when I tried to install the service from installation disk of windows server 2008 64bits. Is the file "sacsrv.dll" corresponding to the service name of file and printer sharing? I found it is in the directory of "Windows\system32". I have no idea about where is the problem? Do I miss some components? Please tell me what can I do for it? Thanks!
Best Wishes,Do any experts know the reason of this problem? Thanks!

Error Code 0x80070035 - The network path was not found, Windows Server 2008 SP2
I have bee receiving following "error code 0x80070035 - The network path was not found" when trying to open file shares in both directions using Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 at both ends. The issue is identical to the KB article KB958285, however the hotfix is only valid up to but not including SP2. One of the servers in question has moved several times between 2 subnets seperated by a VPN. I have tried changing settings in and around the local NIC/DNS Suffix and in the network connection sharing centre, but with no luck. Firewalls are turned off at both sites, and pings and AD queries are successful (one server is a DC). DNS is also working correctly at both sites. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
RichardI thought I would add in another scenario, since this link came to the top of my list in the search engine.
We are running 2008 R2 with SP1 (it happened without SP1 as well)
We could not map using UNC (IP, FQDN, or netbios name). We could ping access the other servers via other utils like event viewer and services.msc but just could not map.
In our case it turned out to be a VMWARE issue but we still had to make a regedit change first
You have to go to regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\
And add LanmanWorkstation to Providerorder
I found on a Citrix board that citrix has an issue with this as well
If you're running VM here is an additional step you should do as well
When you upgrade VMware Tools installed with HGFS from ESX 3.x to ESX 4.x, the HGFS driver may not get uninstalled properly. In this case, the virtual machine's network Provider Order tab in Network Connections
> Advanced > Advanced Settings displays incorrect information and the virtual machine may lose network connectivity.
To avoid this issue, uninstall VMware Tools 3.x before installing VMware Tools 4.x.
To workaround this issue, if you have already upgraded VMware Tools:
Click Start >
Run, type regedit, and click OK. The Registry Editor window opens.
Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\.
Delete the reference to
hgfs.
Reboot the virtual machine.
We found that if you strip out the HGFS, you do not have to reboot for the provider order tab to come back
I hope that this saves people a lot of time. I spent days researching this.
This was the solution for me on 2008 R2 DC w/ Exchange. I do not have VMWare installed but do have Hyper-V. Thank you so much! -
Adobe Acrobat 9.41 Pro will work “great” on the admin account, however through the active directory log on of network users, every user gets the long crash report upon opening the application.
Permissions are set so “everyone” can gain access, however the crash issue is not a decent setting on the Mac environment.
Will welcome any thoughts..comments… and suggestions.
Thank you-OS: Snow Leopard 10.6.5
Active Directory Setup: Windows Server 2008 - Log in for network users
Adobe Acrobat: version crash 9.3 and 9.4.1
Admin of the Mac computer can log in and use the Adobe Acrobat Professional software, however when a network user
Tries to log on the computer and open the Adobe Acrobat 9.3 or 9.4 the software hangs....for 7-8 seconds then displays a crash report, and options are send to apple.
Permissions on every Adobe Acrobat folder on the computer are set to read/write for every user of the program.
Software Type: Using the DVD purchase with the Education program, and the serial number does accept, and download the software from the Adobe web page.

Missing System Protection Tab in Window Server 2008 R2 Standard
Hi All,
Actually I want to disable and enable the system store in Window Server 2008 R2 Standard. When I right click for My Computer and click "Properties", "System Protection" is missing. I have searched a lot of solutions on Internet but still
not working. Please advise and thanks.
Methods which I have tried:
1. sfc /scannow (Not Work)
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsNT\SystemRestore\DisableSR (No such regedit)
3.
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:WindowsServerBackup (Not Work)
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:WindowsServerBackupCommandlet
shutdown -r
Best Regards,
AlanHi,
Firstly, please make sure that you have logged into the computer as an administrator. In addition, can you see the
System Protection tab in safe mode? You can also perform a
full scan of your system to see if any malware removed the the "System Protection" tab.
Besides, you can check the registry below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore
If a "DisableSR" value doesn't exist, you can add it and set the value to 0 to enable System Restore to see if the issue persists.
Best regards,

Windows Server 2008 - How to remotely manage account passwords?
I'm hoping to get direction on how to remotely manage 'user accounts' on Windows Server 2008 machines. The remote management would be from an automated perspective. For example, I have a custom application (maybe C#, Java, etc) that runs on one
server that makes connections to various 'Windows Server 2008' servers; and I want it to be able to do the following.
Query Windows Server 2008 box for full list of user accounts
Update password for user account
Lock account
Unlock account
Check policy information to find out when password may expire
I'm trying to find out what may already be available and running on Windows Server 2008 that I can take advantage to get this done programmatically.
-WesI agree with Mekac, the gallery should provide a lot of script of what you want to do.
Like ;

Unable to configure BMR protection on Windows Server 2008 from DPM 2012 r2 server
We are trying to implement BMR and System State protection on our physical servers and have had issues when trying to set it up for a server running windows server 2008. I have verified that the DPM agent is up to date running version 4.2.1273.0. When
configuring the protection group and expanding system protection the only option is system state. When configuring protection on other physical servers running Windows Server 2012 I am able to select bare metal recovery. Has anyone else had this issue and
know how we can resolve this? Thank you for anyone who takes the time to lend a helping hand.Hi,
