We had 200 computers in workgroup. Now we set up domain.
Problem is that users have several local folders that hat full control
over them. Now when I change computer to domain, I hat to change
permissions on those folders. Folders are different, from user to
user.
Hove to make it work simpler, faster, and not use to mach manual work,
to click on all folders, and add user full control, or owner rights.
You don't want to give your users rights over these folders. You want to
create folders for the users on the server and make a shortcut to them
on the users' desktops. Then delete the actual folders on the
workstations.
Where possible, set the default saving location in applications to the
user's folder on the server. MS Office for instance will let you do
this. For other applications, you will need to see if there are
preferences. Otherwise, teach your users to "Save As" and have them
save into their folder on the server.
No data should be saved on the workstations. Then make sure you have a
good backup policy in place for the server.
