Sharing Distribution Points

After you customize your distribution point, you’ll post it to the intranet deployment server and share it. Secure your distribution point as follows:

  • NTFS security. Configure NTFS security for the distribution point to give administrators full control and users read and execute permission.

  • Share security. Configure the share security for the distribution point to give all users read-only access to it. Even though giving administrators full control is tempting, there is seldom any good reason to change a distribution point remotely, and doing so can only lead to errors.
