I have an issue where I can not flow permissions from an OU to any of its objects.

I'm using an account (i.e. AcntScriptX) which needs to be able to delete a (user) object and has "delete all child objects" set and also "delete" (this object and all descendant objects). However when I try to delete an object using that account it fails. Checked the security tab on 1 of the user objects to be deleted but - when using 'effective permissions' - the "AcntScriptX" account does not have those delete permissions inherited.

The object to be deleted has "include inheritable permissions" enabled.

ANy ideas - thanks.

Hello JOTdude,

I could think that even when you had added the permissions to deleted the child objects you need to validate if there is not listed a Deny permission. The Deny permissions take precedence over any Allow permission. This is by design in Windows Server 2008 and above.

Managing Permissions

You can validate this on the Advanced security tab of the object(s) that you like to delete.

Advanced Security Settings Properties Page - Permissions Tab
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730772.aspx

Also if you want to replicate the permissions you should use the option replace "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object." on the Advanced Security Settings of the parent object.

I hope this information help you to reach your goal. :D

Hi JOTdude,

Thanks for your post.

Do you want to delegate the control of the OU and sub OUs to the account?

If so, you could accomplish this by using Delegation of Control Wizard. That tool can be found by right clicking the OU in question.

Here is the guidance of Delegation of Control Wizard.

And you could also View or Delete Active Directory Delegated Permissions.

For sub-OUs, they will inherit the permissions from the root OUs unless if it was blocked. You can, on the root OU, enforce the inheritance of permissions.

If it still doean't work after the setting. You could check the event log for more details.

Any problems please feel free to contact us.
