| I'm tryig to figure something out here. I've set up my domain with AD and all. So I log on at my win2000 pro client pc as an administrator (domain), which I can share folders with.
When I log on as a user, sharing option is not available. What happened? How do I get users to share their folders when they log on their w2k pro boxes, when sharing option is not there?
Note: there's no users/groups created locally on Local users and groups in any w2k pro boxes.
Thanks! | |

| Everything is working fine.  In a Windows 2000 domain, the Administrators and Server Operators groups can share folders residing on any machine in the domain. The Power Users group is a local group and can share folders residing only on the stand-alone server or computer running Windows 2000 Professional where the group is located.
If you have a folder on an NTFS volume, the user the must have at least the read permission to share it. | |

| I don't believe there is a way. I've checked through the local security policy settings but didn't see one. That could be a security breach if users were allowed to share folders. | |

| You can create and manage shared folders on your clients desktops from your computer using the 'shared folders' plug-in in MMC. You will have to make a 'Shared-Folders' plug-in for each workstation that you need to create shares on, but it will save you shoe leather and you will have control over how it gets shared. | |
