group permissions do not propagate? WS 2008 R2
I am a member of group "Operations". "Operations" is a member of group "Domain Admins". "Domain Admins" is a member of group "Administrators" on the PDC. When I go to create a folder on a share on which "Administrators" *and* "Operations" have Full Control, I get a dialog telling me that I need permission to create the folder. So I create the folder, but then I can not write any files into the folder. What's going on, here? [windows server 2008 R2]

Do you have full control on both, sharing and security tab on this folder? Yuri Diogenes [MSFT] - http://blogs.technet.com/yuridiogenes

This is actually not really relevant because the share is not actually shared itself -- it is a descendent of an actual share. It is further irrelevant because I am attempting to create the folder locally on the machine hosting the shares, which happens also to be the PDC.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I asked this because this type of scenario usually happens when accessing a share from the network and getting different experience with permissions. Maybe you can try to use CACLS to dump the folder’s ACL and see if there any deny in there that could also be causing this behavior.Yuri Diogenes [MSFT] - http://blogs.technet.com/yuridiogenes

Hi, In addition to Yuri’s suggestion, please also check this user’s Effective Permissions. View Effective Permissions on Files and Folders http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771586.aspx Meanwhile, have you tested with another user account in the Operations group?

Hello, Did you check the effective permissions of the folder? Just go to the security tab on the properties dialoge box of the folder, go to advanced, effective permissions, and select your user account to make sure that you have the required permission, a deny permission might be preventing you from creating new files or folders. P.S. you are connecting to the folder using local drives (C:\SharedFolderName) and not \\127.0.0.1\SharedFolderName, just to make sure.MCDST, MCSAS, MCSES, MCDBA, MCITP, MCTS, MCT
