I need to isolate 1-2 servers on my domain from user access, only allowing access 
to certain members.

How would I do this in Active Directory/Windows environment?

Thanks in advance.

So, have you already looked over the documentation and not found an answer? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/2000/default.aspx You should be able to do this by moving most users to be members of a new group and then not letting that group onto the servers. Or create an exclusive group for the servers in question. Does that not work? The link above also has other related links.

So would the group be on the local server machine or would it be a domain account? Where would I assign such permissions for a new group to be able to access this server, while omitting other users? Can you give me a step by step procedure? That would help immensely. Thanks On Tuesday, August 19, 2008 at 4:02 pm, geek9pm wrote: >We suppose you are using Windows 2000 as a server and not 2003.

If all machines are peers and there is no domain, each PC administrator can assign user groups and levels to shared directories. From your post I am not sure if you are using a Domain Server because the domain server controls what users can do from one centralized point. You might want to post your question on the 2003 forum, most of those people are into domain servers. I do not have the skill to go step by step. This forum is about to go to sleep because MS no longer does much for Windows 2000. Hope you find an answer.
