I am running win2k sp2 with pretty much all of the latest updates and what not. What i want to do is create a seperate partition for each of my users that log on. I have all of the drives partitioned out and everything, but i just need to get it to where users can only see there drive, and have no permissions to the other users drives. I have actually tried going through and setting up the permissions, however it does not work... where am i going wrong or what have i yet to do? or even better yet, do i just need to create a login.bat that sets these permissions?

Thx

Try these steps:

1) Make sure every partition is an NTFS partition
2) Remove "everyone" from the list, and enter the username with the proper permission and give it full access.
3) Configure User Profile and Home Folder of each User. To do this:
a) Go to Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management
b) Select Local Users and Groups / Users
c) Right-click the particular user and click properties
d) Select Profile tab

Another suggestion is to keep everything on the same partition and apply the Quota Management for each user :)
