Active Directory: Episode 7 - Windows Shares

Great content. Would love if you could explain the underlaying network and the backbone (network) structure for it to work and how the protocols relate. For example, if it's using named pipes or smb when a user accesses the resources.

I like the idea. I don’t have much free time outside of teaching right now and I have a few other videos on my to-do list for when I have time but I will keep it in mind.

I'm a little confused regarding the Share permissions vs NTFS permissions. If the more restrictive set of permissions take precedent - why not just skip the Share permissions altogether and simply use NTFS permissions? The NTFS permissions seem more flexible overall. Thank you for the lesson, I learned a lot!

[@ProfessorAndrew]

I've only had a few situations where the more robust permissions that NTFS offers were needed. (In those cases we were using Novell shares so the permissions were different anyway.) Most of the time the permissions I've needed are read only or read/write so I've tended to use full access on NTFS and define permissions on the Share side. That said, your approach of doing the opposite is completely valid and may work better in some environments.
