Permissions

We have successfully set up a fileserver on our SBS2000
Domain. The fileserver is a member server and we will
open up shares to at least 3 drives on the file server for
Sales, Marketting and Accounts departments.

I have a permissions questions...

I want to enable clients to save to the shares on their PC
(mapped as F, G, H) but they cannot delete files by
mistake. How can I set this security on the fileserver?

For some background info, the drives on the server are
shared...we have a dynamic RAID-5 array called F, G, H.
Under F, for instance, there are subfolders where people
save to. Clients map to the shares on the fileserver
through a SBS Login script.

Please help!

Hi John -

There's no really easy way to do this in Windows - any user with modify
permissions can delete a file. Depending on how static the files are, one
workaround is to only grant users create permissions, but this often results
in numerous copies of a given file (one for each revision) - which results
in having to constantly clean up the shares. If it were me, I'd probably go
with a 3rd party undelete utility . . .
