How to restrict file access to Domain Computers Only



Single Windows Server 2003. All workstations are Windows XP SP2.

I'm trying to restrict access to the shared files on the Server to computers
that are members of the Domain and so far it isn't working out too well.

Basically, we are allowing people to bring in laptop computers and connect
to our network for Internet access and for access to certain printers but do
not want to allow access to any shared files on the Server. We don't want
any files copied to a laptop and leaving the premises. These computers are
Workgroup computers; not Domain computers. I tried setting the Permissions
for the shared files to only allow access by Administrators and Domain
Computers, but this cut off access by all computers even though the
computers I tested with were clearly members of the Domain Computers group.

Any idea what I'm missing here? Do the Permissions/Security settings need
to be some combination of Domain Computers and Authenticated Users in order
to accomplish this?

Please help.

Thanks.

James
