bank Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 right, permissions.I got a workgroup that my 2 PCs and laptop are in and they pretty much all have full control permissions on all drives except the C DriveI want to add the houses PC to the network, so they can access my music drive and video drive only, but only want them to have read only access.HOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftie Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Not at home so don't fully read everything I'm goin 2 say as 100% proof, but wot bout creating a group. Setting the permissions then adding how ever many users u require 2 that group. Use the group policy manager 2 make sure everything is dandy. This is not a guaranteed method though as it's been a while since I f*cks wit windoze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brukfoot Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 yeah, if you want to give certain people permission you need to make a group and set group permissions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiftie Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 So wot did u do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bank Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 not solved at alli know exactly what i need to do, but dont know how.Basically in the permissions bit where you add users and grant them specific access, only local users are shown, not ones on the network or even the network it self.I click on locations to try find the network (as its only showing the current pc name) but its not thereso.......f*ck knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftie Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Why not create the same USERNAME & PASSWORD across all computers that you need to set the permissions.Then when you connect via Network to woteva the server will be. Just use that name and password.Shouldn't it then get bounded into the corresponding group? Regardless of wether its LOCAL or NETWORK?
