We had a standard server build that included specific shares with group permissions mapped to them. Those who were granted rights to the shares via groups could create folders under them, but not set up their own shares. The folders provided shared access to data for the users.

I’m shocked that your end-users get to decide what shares they want. How do they justify them? Regards, Michael B.

Do you guys have the “server” guys create the actual shares, or is it the desktop support guys? I ask because for end users our desktop currently folks do it, but we are moving to Win2K8 R2 DFS so share creation is a little different but certainly not complex enough that they can’t do it. Just wondered how you guys handle it.
