Resolved: Home folder access

andrewg2308 · 04-04-2007, 11:02 PM

Hi All

I work in a school with a Windows 2003 AD domain. Our students each have there own login and home folder which is mapped via AD. I have had a few requests as of late from teachers saying that want to access the students folders to give them files etc. I don't really want to have to sit here and set permissions on every students folder. i would like to be able to select folders of a year level of students and set permissions. However when I try this is get a message saying " the permissions cannot be displayed because they are different between ... and ..., Do you wish to reset?"

Is there a way around this? or a third party software that may help?
If anymore info is required let me know.

Thanks in advanced!

Are the student accounts all in one group, for example, "Students"?

verdm,

Thanks for your reply! No they are not all in the same folder. The students are organized into year levels in AD and the home folder directories mirror this.
