I need some help with folder permissions in Server 2008 R2. I have some folders that I do not want people to be able to delete files from. They need to be able to create files and modify files in these folders though. If I don't grant the delete right it prevents them from creating files in the folder for some reason. If I check the delete box then they can create files there again. I don't know why it is working this way. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I tried this on one of my server 2008 machines, I checked deny on the following Attributes -Delete subfolders and files -Delete -Change Permissions -Take Ownership The issues that I noticed were as follows. -You will be unable to name change the files or extensions. (Folder Window) -creating new files will prompt you with an error, but will create the file. (When in "Microsoft Word" and doing a "save as") I also tested this on a Windows Server 2003 machine and had the same issues. I want to say that the folder structure and files need to be already created before you apply the security. Kinda sucks but whaterver, sorry I couldn't help more.

Hi scs-04 Thanks for posting here. Could you use the AccessEnum utility to list the folder permission that you encountered issue and post here for further investigation ? And post the groups list that the account you used to access these folders belonged. AccessEnum v1.32 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897332.aspx Thanks.

O have used the AccessEnum utility and have the results saved as XML files. How can I attach them here to this post?? They seem to be very wide text files. Thanks

Hi scs-04, Thanks for your update. For your convenience, I have created a workspace for you. You can upload the information files to the following link.
