Windows 2008 Access Based Enumeration

Novell admins always had one big complaint about Windows file shares.  It was a legitimate one too.  How come users who didn’t have access to folder could see it?  Microsoft gave us ABE or Access Based Enumeration for Windows Server 2003.  I was looking at a solution today where ABE would be handy.  However, this would be a Windows Server 2008 deployment.  I found someone had already done a nice job on documenting how to use ABE in W2008.  Once you enable it, anyone not in a group with access permissions will not be able to see the folder in a share.
