you can do this through simple NTFS permission. Right click on D drive on Win Explorer and click on security tab. Assign security permission as you wish.

You can also restrict D drive access through group policy and active directory OU. A much complicated but more powerful approach

Wrong answer, NTFS permissions do not apply to FAT 32 Drives on the same system.

If you want touse the security features use must make the FAT32 drive NTFS

Or.. use "Sharing Permissions" It's not as robust as NTSF permissions, but works to some degree. Right click the dirve, select "sharing", select "Share this folder", remove the "Everyone" group, then add the admin you wish.

Why even mount the drive at all? Just let the admin user mount it only when needed.
