Best Practices for file sharing

Hello Colleagues, Do we have a best practice guide available in order to comfort different usage scenarios ? I have searched the forum and also found the below guide. http://kb.netgear.com/a...

File Sharing

Hello AJTID,

Setting up permission to the shares of the NAS when the NAS is integrated to AD needs not much config on the admin page, it's just share should be set to Everyone with read/write access and Allow anonymous access should not be marked as enabled. Then the rest of the permissions should be configured on the Windows server using the administrator account that you entered on the admin page's Authentication to set it to AD.

Make sure also that when you switch to Local users under Authentication you have no local user listed that has the same name with one of the shares and/or one of the domain users.

See also step 3 at http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12261/related/1 for permissions setup.

JennC,

We followed the instructions on the page you gave even before posting.
When we try to do that we always get read/write permissions for domain users AND domain admins.
However we want general domaun users to have only read privileges, Folder and group Owners should have read/write privileges.

But as group owners doesnt mean "Domain users" or "Domain groups" only.

Hope thats not to confusing.

  Hello AJTID,
  
  Thanks for responding.
  
  This is a setting on the AD server already. It may be best for us to wait for suggestions from others in the community who are also using AD server with the NAS.

    Hello　JennyC,
    
    I will open a support case ID.
    Hopefully this will lead quicker to a success ;-)
    
    We have spent already more than a week on this.
    Something is quirky or buggy.
