Block admin from folder David <lakosked[ at ]sbcglobal.net> 06.07.2007 03:20:08 Hello folks, How can I restrict or block a user with admin priviledges from a specific directory. We have a company who is installing a monitoring agent. The agent is being given admin priviledges so it can update patches and do maintenance stuff. However the company wants the agent to be block from the financials directory. Any ideas? We have tried adding the administrator account to the folder and then removing the admin group from the folder. This works but the "user/agent" would still be able to switch the permissions back if it wanted or if someone logged on using that account.

You cannot block them from getting access to any part of your server. Any reputable financial software, however should be able to password protect your financial data separately from folder access. -- Frank McCallister SBS MVP MCP Microsoft Small Business Specialist COMPUMAC "David" <lakosked[ at ]sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:zxiji.840$m%.633[ at ]newssvr17.news.prodigy.net...
