1399953 2015-05-03 08:55:00 What Version of Server 2012 ?

You have missed a couple of important bits of Info.

Sorry if the following pictures are not to clear, its done Via remote desktop.

If you created using Server 2012 Essentials you can use the Create Folder Wizard :
6438

If you created them Via Computer Management / Shares - Then on the right will be the location.
6439

When sharing a folder you have to add users to the folder that are allowed access (or groups in Active Directory), unless you want it unsecure and allow "Everyone", of course if you add users you also need to have an account for them.

Edited: doesn't matter if you have them on different drives in the same server.

1399954 2015-05-03 09:25:00 You can also use the method you asked, ( I dont, takes to much time) just found a video that may be what you want. www.youtube.com I Normally use the second method shown, via Computer Management but with a slight abbreviation, I select the Custom Add users that way you can add only people you want to allow access (not shown) wainuitech (129)

1399956 2015-05-03 11:01:00 Theres several different versions of Server 2012R2, Essentials has the top windows, Standard doesn't (by default, but you can enable it) Same as the desktop Icons can be enabled.

Now I'm clowning about ( kind of) If you share folders so they are not available to everyone, you'll get the following prompt if you dont have permission (couldn't resist this - The name :D )

6440

BUT share it correctly with the right users / permissions and you get to whats inside:
6441

:p :p :lol:

Still hasn't answered
it is hard to find that , it just say debugged checked ???? Whats hard to find ???

If you're doing a course and they haven't taught how to get to Computer management in Server 2012, as well as creating users to Allow/Disallow, then sharing as you asked about is a bit more complicated.

Creating two folders --
Create two folders on File Server 1 & File Server 2 drives can be done several ways, there is "no one way only". What there is though is giving permissions to who has access or not to those shared folders unless they are made "Everyone"

Servers are different to other Computers there are at minimum two actions for sharing / Access - In plain English terms:

Authentication, which is what you do when you sign into the server, it verifies who you are by a user name and password.
Then theres Authorization, this verifies what you are authorized to do. -- Meaning you may be able to see folders but not have permission to access them, or you may be able to access them , but cant add, alter, delete anything.

The other post I was showing what happens if someone doesn't have the permissions to access the folder.
