I have a folder on Windows Server 2008R2 Enterprise machine which I have shared as - SharedName - Resources
There are two options to share this folder -
Share...
Advanced Sharing...
I chose 'Advanced Sharing...' because I wanted to give a different Share Name.
I also give 'Read+Change' permission to a particular user say, Niki
Then, I click Ok to save those permission under 'Advanced Sharing...'
Now when I click 'Share...', I don't see 'Niki' user.
Questions -
- Do I need to add 'Niki' user again if I already gave Shared permission to this user under Advanced option?
- 'Share...' dialogue has 'Read/Write' permissions and
'Advanced Share...' dialogue has 'Read/Change/Full Control' permissions.
How these two sets of permissions relate to each other? - Is it a good idea to give different shared name than actual folder name.?
I like this but have a feeling that someone looking at this shared name on another server won't have any clue about actual folder name. Any thoughts?
Sharing
tab (Advanced Sharing
is the one you want) and NTFS permissions through theSecurity
tab. The relationship between Share and NTFS permissions is described here: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754178.aspx
