Thank you Sandeep.
That spreadsheet is very complicated. Do you have to answer all the questions on that? Some of the things are very subjective, like "VERY LIKELY " and "MEDIUM" and "LOW" etc.
And what practical solution do you propose for setting permissions?
Hate finding an "Everyone" permissions folder; delete it from permissions when I find it. Agree with Sandeep about using Active Directory to manage the permissions on the folder if there is a DC.
For folks running a non-server environment, create an "acuser", give it permissions on the share, then use those credentials to mount the share from every other machine. GTG
