I recently installed W2k server on a PC at home and I'm having some issues w/ sharing a drive. For this example lets say i used the name ABCDE for the domain name. Basically I created a share for my D:\ drive on the domain controller as d$. I set the share permission to "everyone full-control" and the security permissions on the drive to ABCDE\Administrators with the intentions of allowing ONLY the registered domain administrators group to have access to this drive. When i'm logged into a pc as a domain user (domain username, domain password, ABCDE domain) all of the accounts act as they should. Only domain admins are allowed to access this drive and other users are prompted for a login/password.
Now for the problem. When I log on to any other PC in the house as a "local user" (localuser login, localuser password, local computer "this computer") with any account, either a local admin account and even a local restricted user account problems begin. ANY of these users are able to type in the domain controller/shared drive name \\ABCDE\d$ and the shared drive pops up and the local user account has full access to all of the folders and files on the shared drive. They can see the files, delete them, moved them and everything. I've questioned quite a few people as I work as network admin doing the routing and switching for a company that supports over 4000 users. Everyone has suggested that I set the share permissions to "Everyone Full-Control" and then limit my users by configuring the drive permissions. This is sort of a test project for me to experiment with 'the other side' and I'm just baffled as to how this can happen. Apparently, I have something set wrong somewhere and I'm looking for suggestions. Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated.
