Office Integration With Active Directory
I run a network with 40 machines, at the moment we have an
older version of office (2000) running on a Win 2000 server and a mixture of 2000 and XP workstations. Although the active directory lets me set options on win explorer to limit access to files and folders the settings do not apply to the explorer plug-in built into office. This allows staff to browse other area of the netwok wihout permissions. If I upgrade to office 2003 will there be a better integration with active directory, or are there any other ways of securing the office explorer? Mnay Thanks Dave |

Office Integration With Active Directory
There are two types of file permissions: (1) NTFS and (2) Share
NTFS permissions control local access to files Share permissions control access to files over the wire. These are not advanced concepts -- they are "introdution to Microsoft Operating Systems" concepts. Log onto your server, open "Help and Support" and read about GPOs and how to use them to assign/remove Share permissions to groups. Do what real Systems Administrators do: Buy a book about MS Server and a book about Active Directory, and read them. steve "Dave Lomax" wrote in message ...
