Problem with permissions
Hi, I have a problem with the permissions used on our users shared area. We create our users accounts as per usual and specify in the Terminal Servers tab that the Home Folder should connect to '\\server\users\%username%'. This creates the folder structure that holds their profile (redirected by group policy). This gets the following groups inherited, a DL group for general user access and SYSTEM with Administrators and the users account explicitly specified, all with Full control permissions. However, when the users MyDocs folder is created within this the permissions are not pulled through. The folder is not set to allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate so the My Docs folder only has SYSTEM and the users accounts in the permissions tab with the user set as the owner. This never used to be the case, inheritance was always enabled. I can't see how to ensure that inheritance is enabled for these folders when they are created using the %username% in the Terminal Services Tab. This is causing problems with our logon script which are resolved when the permissions are forced through, I just can't see what has changed or how to fix it. Any help appreciated.
