Windows Server 2003: Access-based Enumeration for file servers

windows server 2003If you manage a Windows Server 2003 file server, I recommend installing this add-on.

Windows Server 2003 Access-based Enumeration makes visible only those files or folders that the user has the rights to access. When Access-based Enumeration is enabled, Windows will not display files or folders that the user does not have the rights to access. This download provides a GUI and a CLI that enables this feature.

This was my first hands-on use of the tool. Installation was straightforward and did not require a file-server reboot. It gives users a simpler view, and we see fewer "security audits" in Event Viewer.

      Hi Matilda,
      Thank you. I like the new design too which I implemented last summer.

      I purchased a framework theme and designed some important parts myself.
