Christine L Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I tried to set Permissions on a folder by Computer Objects, i.e. Allows everyone to access that folder but denied some Computer from accessing that folder no matter who logined that computer. But the permission by computer entry never take effect when I test it. Anyone knows why? Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Because it doesn't work the way you are thinking - it blocks the COMPUTER ACCOUNT for that computer from accessing the folder (really the LocalSystem account running under that computer's context), but not the user account on that machine.AD doesn't work that way.

jeff.sadowski Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Maybe a firewall rule might help you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 AD works more around users accounts then computer account, permissoning should be done via users accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine L Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yes, can't restrict by Computers, finally, I used Group Policy to block exe files by Computers. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
