Dear all,

Anyone have solution to not allow user move folders into another folder
accidentially in MS server 2003?
We are using share folder options to every folders but any users can drag
folders to move into another folder very easy.

Thanks in advance!

The most close thing to a real solution is user education.

You can set the folders so that they cannot delete them by
use of their NTFS permissions, such as granting only List
on the folders, but that does not solve the underlying issue.
If they do not have delete on the folders they can still drag
and drop the folder to somewhere, and they cause a copy
to get set up there and all that they can delete removed
from the original location, which is just as bad as if they
had successfully moved everything (perhaps worse).

There is no technical solution to this since copy is not
treated as a transacted, atomic action, and so as much as
can happen will happen.
