Re: Filer/Share Time Access Restrictions (Help).

How about just turning off the file server that is hosting the
sensitive file during the non-business hours??

A computer that is turned-off is most secure.

This is a not a joke. Actually some SAN / NAS provide a scheduler to
turn-off and turn-on various file systems.

Filer/Share Time Access Restrictions:

Any feedback or suggestions on how to accomplish this objective is
appreciated.

Objective: There's a highly sensitive confidential file share that we
want to restrict access to during off-business hours. The user will keep
their ability to login to their computer from home/VPN and access email
through Outlook web.

Possible solutions (none of them ideal).

1. Create 2nd account for user and grant file access rights only to that
account. Enable time login restriction in AD and create drive mapping
using that 2nd account credential to main account. Problem is that if
the user forgets to logoff and save, their unsaved Office sessions may
crash and unable to save even if the drive connections are later
restored.

2. Create 2nd account for user and have them use it during off hours.
Place time restriction on main account. Problem is that OWA Outlook Web
will not work.

3. Using script and event scheduler to add/remove permissions on the
fileshare.

Any better ideas on how to accomplish this?

Regards,
John
