I'v been running the permission settings below on my NT4 workstation PC's for students. I'm now upgrading the machines to Win2000. Do I need to change any of the settings below for Workstations and Servers? Especially the server running IIS?

I got these from the TechRepublic newsletter.

On these folders:

  • \Winnt
