Hi everybody,

When a logical drive is setup, by default the Everyone group has full
control (NTFS). I read somewhere that it was best to remove the Everyone
group and replace with the Authenticated Users group. Before I go romping
around and making this change on all my servers logical drives, can someone
confirm this or otherwise make recommendations? I also read that when
creating a security structure with share & ntfs permissions, to use share
permissions sparingly, but use ntfs to secure folders.

Any input would be appreciated.

Chris
