Before I can tell you what is wrong with it in detail tell me what you plan
on using this server for?

Hi Allen,
Thanks for your input. :-)

Forgive me; I'm not trying to sound flippant. What's wrong with doing
this?
When you say "it's not a godd idea"...why not? Do you think I will
encounter
some form of difficulties?

I'm, of course, just "thinking out loud", but I can't see why anyone other
than these two groups would need ANY access (even read permissions) to the
default directories and their subdirectories.

Well you will accomplish what you're trying to do and that is it will be

Administrator.
Not a good idea. Leave the root permissions alone and apply your NTFS
permissions at the folder level.

Hi folks,
I'm setting up a new Server 2003-R2 server. I have added the
Administrators
and System groups full control of the C:\ drive, and removed everyone
else. I
see, by default, the C:\ drive has a few other directories and
subdirectories, i.e., "Windows", "Program Files", etc.

Since I'm setting this server up from scratch, in an effort to be as
secure
as possible, is there's anything wrong with selecting the little check
box
"Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown
here
that
apply to child objects." I know this will reset all pemissions from the
root
of C:\ down through all directories, I'm just wondering if I can expect
headaches or if this might be smart to do? I think it sounds like a
smart
idea.

Comments? Suggestions?

Thank you,
Ed
