I have prepared .NET 2.0 Desktop App for my college library.
My college System Admin set-up the library network with Windows 2003 server
& XP clients, and has handed over its responsibilities to me.
I have some experience with Active Directory & Group Policies, but I'm not
an Admin.
I have set-up OUs & appropriate Group Policies for various clients. I am
looking for help in 2 specific areas:
1) First, each client has a varying number of hard-disk partitions. Active
Directory Group Policy allows me to restrict access to either A,B,C,D or all
drives. Some of these clients have up-to 6-7 partitions & I need to restrict
access to some of them depending upon the Login.
I did not see a direct way to do it. The only solution I see are Login
scripts. Is there any other way to deny access to a partition depending upon
who is logging in (for drive letters such as E & F).
If I need to use scripts, can someone provide me a sample script to deny
access to say F: for users in OPAC organizational unit.
2) The second thing is Service. Some clients have Sql Express installed for
local use. Again, I need to start-up Sql Service only if OPAC user is logging
in.
Is there any way other than scripts, and if no, again I would request a
sample script???
