Hello Everyone

Can anyone help me with my problem please:

My Problem is:

I have an share folder on my sever name "DATA" which contains every employee named folder in it and everyone have right to access only his folder. i want that if a person enters in DATA folder, the contents of folder may be hidden to him else the folder whose permisson he have. i.e "DATA" contains folder named A , B , C.
if a user A access to DATA folder he may see only folder A to him, other 2 folder B, C should be Hidden to him.

I'll be very great full to you for your help.

If I understand your question correctly, you are stating that when user "A" accesses the share "DATA" he only sees his folder. As far as he can tell, his folder is the only one there. The same should happen for users "B" and "C"... is this correct? If that is the case, then what you are asking doesn't happen normally with Windows. I know this is the default behavior with Novell servers. However, I just read this article that explains how to do it. It is a feature of Server 2008 and there is a download for Server 2003 SP1. It is called Access-based Enumeration (ABE). I have not tried it as I did not know it existed until about 10 minutes ago. I will be giving it a try tomorrow though. Here is the link to the article:

If you give this a try, post back and let me know how it worked. I will do the same.
