Set up: Windows Server 2003, ADS and Group Policy in place, Windows XP SP2 on all workstations, Office 2003.
What we wish to accomplish: Create a folder owned by a Teacher with a subfolder inside called ?Drafts?. Allow students to drop an office document (Power Point Word et. all) into the folder. The teacher needs to be able to mark up or edit the document and not take ownership from the student, as the teacher has more rights on the network than a student would. Other students would need to be disallowed from viewing or editing the document to eliminate copying and cheating. Then the student (original owner) needs to be able to make the changes necessary and resubmit.
Issues so far (what I?m asking for help on): Word (and other office suite products) creates a temp file as the teacher edits and saves over the original, thus transferring ownership to the teacher. The student then has no rights to the file unless we open up the folder (less secure) or touch every individual doc and give the specific student rights to the document (not logistically practical).
So what I?m asking is: How would you set this up? What permissions would be needed? Is there a simple way to set this up that I have overlooked?
Note: I let off the permission structure we are using currently so that I could see fresh ideas and insight before poisoning the well with the way we set it up (that is not working obviously).
Thank you in advance for any and all help, this one has us (and the reps we?ve called at Microsoft) perplexed for some time.
