need help for a group policy

[johannulnulzeven]

I have a Win 2000 server with dozens of shared maps. I have one group "teachers".
When they login, these users should be able to see one shared map on the server, but everything else (all the other maps) should be invisible. This group is on the domain.
I've tried different options, but i don't seem to manage
Is it possible to do this with a group policy, or are there any other possibilities that could work ?

Thanks!

We use group policies to lock down elements of windows. We do our newtork drive mapping via a login script, perhaps the same could work for you...

For your problem its simple just use login script to map the drive you want them to have access. If you dont want them to have access to the other drive you remove them from the logon script.

Make a comon batch file example: teachers.bat with the command:

net use u: \\computer\share

Where computer is your computer name and share is your share you want them to see.

They will still be able to browse the network trough and see the share folders so for that part you have to do restrictions with group policy if you want to hide them. Or you can always use hidden share which is nice also.

I have a login script that maps my users to their appropiate drives (K,U,M). I have a GPO that already restricts them from viewing the C:\ drive on their local workstation.
I need to modify this GPO that will also hide one of the mapped drives (M). The application they use needs the mapped drive data but I don't want the users browsing to the folder.

How can I do this?
TIA

Hi Peralta,

You should really start a new thread but I will answer none the less.

You could try hidding the drive by changing the share name. I am assumeing that M is a shared folder on the server, go to the sharing section of the folder, create a new share name called M$, remove the old one and it will now be hidden. Any references to the drive will have to be changed accordingly (add the $) This may help you, it may not...

Hope it does though!
