Can anybody help explain the differences and best practices for setting permission levels using these groups in a Domain environment?
When should you use each one of these groups for setting permissions? Appreciate any insight! I tend to use domain users. Everyone permission can let anyone access the data but you have to have the server setup to not require authentication to make a connection to so anyone could walk in and plug a laptop in and access info on a server. Domain users means a user must have an account of the domain in question. Authenticated users means a user has authenticated somehow, this can include users from alternate domains via trusts etc.

Actually as long as the server is set to not require authentication which it is be default, putting everyone on shares and folders will allow access to the files without authentication.

I get the feeling I may have misunderstood you here theravager Can you clarify exactly what you mean by 'not requiring authentication'?
Do you mean the guest account? Because that still requires an authentication process. Sorry i just relised my above comment wasn't really clear. By default it doesn't work. Its been a while since I've have had to do this and i don't have a system in my current workplace i can check set like this but i believe its two group policy setting in the local policy, one is in the user rights area and one is in security option.
Okay, the reason it wouldn't work is because by default NTFS perms do not include the Everyone group. I had to have a discussion with some people to get this. Anonymous also does not belong to Everyone.
For whatever reason, users were not utilizing Active Directory, so I am creating users to avoid logging in locally. I was also cleaning up this list and correcting permissions for the accounts that were present. While reviewing permissions I noticed some users had User access and others had Domain Users. I created a fake account seen in screenshot below with both added. I also came to discover that Domain Users is simply a part of the Users group, also included in the screenshot.
I have created other groups that include individual accounts that are a member of Domain Users, thus being a member of Users, for the accounts to join. I apologize to anyone seeing this as very basic, but I've limited experience with the depth of Active Directory when it gets down to the fine details.
My ultimate goal is to segregate permissions and avoid the current practice - local administrator accounts for daily activities. Windows Server R. Hello Thomas.
