how do I use group policy to move my documents to the home directory?
955644
Hello,\n\nIf we are talking Microsoft active directory which I assume we are, then you wouldnt use group policy itself to move the documents. However, within AD group policy you can edit or define where by default documents you create say in word or excel are saved too. That might always be set to say "My Documents" on a local client machine, or to a specific intranet server, drive & folder location. (such as below)\n\n&#92;&#92;servername&#92;volsys&#92;accs&#92;sage&#92;monthydata\n\n**You can also achieve the same actions if you open a new MMC console then add in the correct snapin/s. You would require administrative templates, within the admin templates you can also define where by default your documents get saved. Admin templates can be applied to a single machine or to all machines in your network.\n\n**The AD schema itself I beleive can also be edited to define where documents get saved but thats only for the most expert AD company adminstrators (top & highest AD level possible) as we are talking whole domains, tree's & forrests,etc.\n\nIR

piece of cake man.. But you got to be careful. Log on to the hard disk as slave in any machine. go to folder options. Untick thee USE SIMPLE FILE SHARING in the view tab. Now go to the folder of th user in documents and settings then right click it and go to properties. go to the sharing tab. you'll see a whole new interface of the tab. go to advanced and delete all the user permissions ALL OF THEM and then change the owner to everyone and apply to al sub folders and files. then add users permission and type also everyone then apply then OK. Enjoy

You have to do this: REMEMBER you must have administrator priveleges. \n\n   1. You need to Login as Administrator. To have access to security tab\n\n   2. If you are using Windows XP PRO,  you must disable Simple File Sharing.\n\n   3. Right-click the folder/file that you want to take ownership of, and then click Properties.\n\n   4. Click the Security tab, and then click OK on the Security message (if one appears).\n\n   5. Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.\n\n   6. In the Name list, click your user name, or click Administrator if you are logged in as Administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of that folder, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.\n\n   7. Click OK, and then click Yes when you receive the following message:\nYou do not have permission to read the contents of directory folderName. Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you Full Control?\nAll permissions will be replaced if you press Yes.\n\n   8. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.\n\n\nWorked with me a while ago, Good Luck. If you need anyhelp let me know.

When you right click on a file and then drag it on to any other location, windows gives you options to "Move", "Copy", "Create Shortcuts" to the new location or "Cancel" the operation. \n\nTry it!

Using Group Policy would be better:\n\nMS has a new tool that came with Server 2003  GPMC.msc\nGroup Policy Management Console.  I believe you can get it off their website....but regardless of what tool you use, I would use group policies for that....it's one of the main reasons 'group policies' were created....user password mgmt.

Just create a separate folder for each user, share it, and set the security permissions on each folder so only that user and the administrator has access to it. Then the user can map it as a network drive.\n\nIf more than one user needs access to a certain share, then it would be best to create a group in active directory and only give that group access.  Then, to give a user access, you just have to add them to the group.

If you have Windows XP, then you have built-in protection.  Right click on the folder and then select Properties, then the Security tab and assign permissions to who you want to allow.

if you were running Windows XP professional or a Windows 2003 server, you could right click on the files, check the "Security" tab, and restrict the access rights user by user. XP Home won't let you do that.\n\nIf you have Windows XP, you need to ensure that those Read-only rights (in the "Security" tab, mind, not that little read only checkbox on the "General" tab) are enforced on the users you want to enforce them on - explicitly specify only your superuser accounts (like Administrator) with greater rights. \n\nif you do this, I assure you - nobody, not even the computer itself, will be able to move these files. It will crash before succeeding...

1. backup your registry\n2. goto start | run |regedit\n3. goto key HKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;Software&#92;\nMicrosoft&#92;\nWindows&#92;\nCurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;\nExplorer and change value data in NoFolderOptions to 0\n\n4. do the same for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;Software&#92;\nMicrosoft&#92;Windows&#92;\nCurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;\nExplorer

You may create password-protected archive, where you can aggregate all the files you need.\nIt can be done in different ways for different archivers, but usually it's very simple.

A faster way to edit local policy is...\n\n\nStart-Run-gpedit.msc

The only way to get in is with the local administrator password unless you created a local PC account.  Without that unless you rejoin that to the domain you will not be able to get into the machine.  The second problem if I understand what you are trying to do.  If you are trying to get to an account that was from the domain that you are removing the machine from that is your problem.  If you remove the machine from the domain that the account that has the files that you are trying to access was a domain account you have essentially removed all access to those files.  If that is the case the only way to get to those file is to re-add the machine to the original domain.  Even once you do that I am not sure that the new profile will have access to the files under the old one.  If so, when you get home just log in as the local admin and copy the file to your home workgroup that way.
